Starting or adjusting mental health medication is a big change to your life, as you’re dealing with medication selection, possible side effects, and getting the right dosage. To get the appropriate medication for your needs, you deserve a provider who listens in a caring environment, understands your unique medical history, and takes the time necessary to treat your symptoms.
WellStead Mental Health offers a collaborative approach to mental health medication management. We’ve been in practice since 1982 and offer a clinician-led team of experienced psychiatrists and advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs).
Effective treatment requires a customized plan built around the individual. Neurochemistry varies from person to person, and so adaptable approaches to treating mental illness are essential. We use a step-by-step process to find the right medication for you.
Our psychiatrists will gather information on your medical history, previous treatments, and your goals. We get a full picture of your situation before developing your treatment plan.
We’ll discuss medication options with you based on the information we gathered. We’ll explain what the medication is, how it works, and potential side effects you may experience so you have all the knowledge necessary to make an informed decision.
A vital part of the treatment process is regular monitoring. We’ll book ongoing appointments to assess your reaction to the medication. During these appointments, we can help with side effects and make dosage adjustments as necessary. This monitoring process helps us find the right dosage and medication for your needs.
Once your symptoms have stabilized, we’ll continue to meet regularly to make sure your medication remains effective long term.
Our providers are experienced in treating diverse behavioral health needs and providing medication management for these mental health conditions:
We have expertise treating first-onset, persistent, and treatment-resistant depression using medication, therapy, and advanced treatments like deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which is noninvasive and painless.
We’ll help reduce symptoms for generalized anxiety, panic disorders, social anxiety, OCD, and phobias using medication and cognitive behavioral therapy.
We create individualized plans combining mood-stabilizing medications, psychotherapy, and lifestyle adjustments to regulate mood and prevent relapse.
We offer trauma-informed care and use evidence-based treatments alongside medication to reduce flashbacks and hypervigilance.
We use a compassionate, structured approach using antipsychotic medications to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning and quality of life.
We treat insomnia and chronic stress causing sleeplessness using behavioral interventions and appropriate medication.
At WellStead Mental Health, our mission is to ensure psychiatric care is both accessible and affordable. By partnering with a diverse range of insurance providers, we strive to offer smooth, hassle-free coverage for every patient.

We want our mental health medication management services to be accessible, which is why we’ve partnered with a range of insurance providers for your convenience. We have in-person and telehealth appointments available, and clinic locations in Florida when you need medication management near you, including in:
Tallahassee M D Lane: This clinic has great accessibility via major bus lines and free parking.
Tallahassee Centennial Place: This office is less than one mile from HCA’s regional medical campus, perfect for coordinating care with other specialists in the area.

The frequency of appointments varies depending on your specific situation and treatment phase.
Appointments are typically more frequent during the initial period when starting or adjusting medications. Your provider will discuss the recommended schedule with you and adjust it based on your individual needs and response to treatment.
If you experience side effects, it’s important to communicate this with your provider. Never discontinue or adjust your medication dosage on your own without consulting your provider, as sudden changes can sometimes lead to withdrawal symptoms or a return of the condition being treated.
The duration of medication treatment varies widely depending on your specific condition, severity, response to treatment, and other factors. We regularly evaluate the continued need for medication and consider factors such as your symptom history, risk of relapse, and personal preferences.
