Services · Medication management
Psychiatric medication management.
Medication management is a psychiatrist working with you to find the right medication, at the right dose, and adjusting it over time. It is not a quick prescription. It is careful, evidence-based care with steady follow-up to track how you feel and watch for side effects. Dr. McDade provides it by secure video across Texas and California, for ages 12 to 70.

What it helps
Medication management can help with many conditions.
It is a core part of care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and more. Dr. McDade treats the whole picture, not just a single symptom.
A few honest notes
Clear about what we can and cannot do.
Some medications, including certain controlled substances, can only be prescribed to patients who live in Texas. Dr. McDade will tell you clearly what applies to your care, so there are no surprises.
Medication is often only part of the answer. When therapy would help, she connects you with the right therapist so your care works together. And if the best step is care beyond this practice, she will tell you honestly and help you find it. The goal is your full recovery.
