What is psychiatry?
Psychiatry focuses on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, often including medication management. Unlike therapy, which centers on talk-based support, psychiatric care includes medical evaluation and, when appropriate, prescription treatment. Many families combine therapy and medication for comprehensive care.

Our approach to medication
Medication is never one-size-fits-all. Our psychiatric clinicians take a careful, measured approach.
Comprehensive evaluation before prescribing
Every patient receives a thorough diagnostic assessment before any medication is considered
Evidence-based treatment guidelines
All prescribing follows current clinical research and pediatric best practices
Lowest effective dose
When medication is appropriate, we start conservatively and adjust based on response
Ongoing symptom tracking and follow-ups
Regular check-ins to monitor progress, side effects, and overall wellbeing
Collaboration with parents and pediatricians
With consent, we coordinate with your child's existing care team for seamless support
Medication is never required
Not every child or teen needs medication. When it is recommended, it's part of a broader care plan designed to support long-term wellbeing

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Our licensed psychiatric clinicians can prescribe medication when clinically appropriate, with ongoing monitoring and follow-ups.
Therapy offers a safe space where your child can meet with a licensed therapist to share their feelings, learn healthy coping skills, manage stress, and practice age-appropriate strategies to strengthen emotional well-being.
Psychiatry focuses on whether medication might be helpful for your child. Psychiatric providers are medical professionals who can evaluate symptoms, prescribe medications when appropriate, and check in regularly to make sure it’s working.
Both types of support can work together to help your child feel better — so whether you start with therapy, psychiatry, or both, we’re here for you every step of the way.
Yes! Our therapists and psychiatric providers work closely as a team to offer the very best care. With your permission, they share clinical notes so your child receives coordinated, whole-person support — without having to retell their story.
Emora’s medication management is highly personalized and guided by the latest research and safe practices for your child’s age and needs. If medication is part of your care plan, our psychiatric providers may prescribe evidence-based, non-controlled medications like SSRIs, SNRIs, and non-habit-forming medications for anxiety, ADHD, depression, and more.
Medications that can be safely prescribed and monitored for long-term positive outcomes include, but are not limited to: Atarax & Vistaril (Hydroxyzine), BuSpar (Buspirone), Cymbalta (Duloxetine), Effexor XR (Venlafaxine), Inderal (Propranolol), Intuniv (Guanfacine), Kapvay (Clonidine), Lexapro (Escitalopram), Neurontin (Gabapentin), Paxil (Paroxetine), Prozac (Fluoxetine), Qelbree (Viloxazin), Remeron (Mirtazapine), Seroquel (Quetiapine), Strattera (Atomoxetine), Wellbutrin (Bupropion), and Zoloft (Sertraline).
We do not prescribe controlled substances, including stimulants for ADHD, although we do prescribe safe alternatives when appropriate. If these are needed, we can help you find a trusted provider who is able to prescribe them.
We work with many insurance plans and also offer transparent self-pay options. During sign-up, our team will verify your benefits and walk you through any costs ahead of time. You can check to see if your insurance is covered at www.emorahealth.com/start.
Absolutely – parents and/or guardians are welcome and encouraged to join sessions (and are asked to be present in all cases for the initial assessment for children under 18). The most effective child-oriented care involves the whole family, including parent check-ins, psychoeducation, and guidance as part of the treatment plan. We work with families as partners in care.
Most patients have follow-up visits every 2–4 weeks initially, and then at clinically appropriate intervals. Regular monitoring ensures safety and effectiveness.
We conduct routine check-ins to assess symptom response and potential side effects. Adjustments are made thoughtfully and collaboratively with families.
Treatment plans are not static. If a medication is ineffective or causes side effects, your clinician will adjust dosage, consider alternatives, or revisit the diagnosis.
No. Medication is only recommended when clinically appropriate. Many patients receive therapy alone, while others benefit from combined care.
Yes. With consent, we collaborate with pediatricians and other providers to ensure comprehensive, coordinated care.
