meet our psychiatry team
At Toledo Counseling & Mental Health, our psychiatry team provides psychiatric evaluations and medication management for children, adolescents, and adults in Toledo, Sylvania, and across Ohio through telehealth when appropriate.
Our psychiatric providers help clients and families better understand symptoms, explore treatment options, and determine whether medication management may be a helpful part of care. When counseling and psychiatry are both appropriate, our team can also coordinate care with therapists within the practice, with client consent.
Psychiatric Care From Providers Who Take Time to Understand the Full Picture
Starting psychiatry services can feel like a big step. Some people reach out after symptoms have started affecting sleep, focus, mood, behavior, relationships, work, school, or daily functioning. Others are unsure whether they need medication, therapy, an evaluation, or a combination of supports.
Our psychiatry team takes time to understand symptoms, history, daily functioning, concerns, treatment goals, and questions about medication. The goal is not to rush the process, but to help each person or family make informed decisions about care.

A Thoughtful Approach to Medication Decisions
Medication can be helpful for some people, but it should not feel rushed, pressured, or automatic. At Toledo Counseling & Mental Health, psychiatry begins with understanding the full picture: symptoms, history, daily functioning, prior treatment, current concerns, goals, and questions about medication.
Our psychiatric providers carefully consider whether medication may be appropriate and discuss treatment options in a collaborative way. The goal is to help you make an informed decision, not to simply prescribe medication without understanding your needs.
We consider ourselves partners in your wellness journey. You will not be pressured into a decision. Our providers focus on education and shared decision-making so you understand the potential benefits, possible risks, and questions to consider before starting anything new.
What Our Psychiatry Team Provides
Psychiatry may be helpful when emotional, behavioral, attention-related, or mood-related symptoms are affecting daily life. Our providers help clients better understand what they are experiencing, whether medication may be appropriate, and what type of care may best fit their needs.
Psychiatric Evaluations
A psychiatric evaluation helps clarify symptoms, treatment history, current concerns, and possible next steps.
Medication Management
Medication management includes prescribing, monitoring, follow-up care, and treatment adjustments when clinically appropriate.
Education & Shared Decisions
Our providers explain treatment options, answer questions, and help clients feel informed before starting anything new.
Coordination With Counseling
With consent, psychiatry and counseling providers may coordinate care when both services are part of treatment.

Counseling and Psychiatry Can Work Together
Many clients benefit from therapy, medication management, or a combination of both. Counseling can help clients build insight, coping skills, communication strategies, emotional regulation, and behavioral changes. Psychiatry can help evaluate whether medication may support symptom relief and daily functioning.
When both services are clinically appropriate, Toledo Counseling & Mental Health offers the advantage of counseling and psychiatry within one practice. With client consent, providers can coordinate care, share relevant treatment goals, and support a more connected treatment experience.
This does not mean every client needs both therapy and medication. It means our team can help determine which path may fit your needs.
