How we approach care
At Lerene Health, clinical decisions are driven by careful assessment, ongoing monitoring, and clear communication. The care team includes licensed prescribers and therapists who coordinate to create a consistent plan that responds to measurable progress and changing needs.
Who may benefit
Adults and adolescents who are experiencing mood disorders, anxiety, attention differences, sleep disruption, or other psychiatric concerns may benefit from combined medication and psychotherapy. Treatment is appropriate when symptoms interfere with daily functioning, work, relationships, or school.
- Individuals seeking medication management with regular follow-up
- Those beginning or continuing psychotherapy alongside medication
- People needing short-term stabilization or longer-term maintenance
Assessment and initial intake
Initial evaluation focuses on medical and psychiatric history, current symptom profile, previous treatments, and social factors that affect health. When necessary, the team consults laboratory results and coordinates with primary care or other specialists. Intake typically includes a structured interview and validated rating scales to quantify symptoms and set measurable goals.
Treatment planning
Treatment plans are created with patient input and outline expected steps, monitoring frequency, and the criteria for changes in care. Medication choices emphasize safety, tolerability, and the evidence base for the diagnosis. Psychotherapy options include evidence-based approaches aimed at symptom reduction and improving coping skills.
Follow-up and monitoring
After starting or changing medication, follow-up visits are scheduled to assess response and side effects. Monitoring includes symptom scales, functional measures, and medication reconciliation. Psychotherapy sessions are scheduled according to clinical need and may be weekly or less frequent as progress is made.
Coordination with other care providers
Effective care often requires collaboration. With patient consent, Lerene Health communicates with primary care providers, schools, and other mental health professionals to maintain a consistent treatment approach and avoid unnecessary duplication.
Insurance and practical matters
The administrative team assists with insurance verification and billing questions. For patients paying out of pocket, the office provides clear fee schedules and session policies. Appointments, prescription renewals, and urgent concerns are routed through a central phone line to ensure timely responses.
Safety and crisis care
Safety planning is a routine part of work with patients who report suicidal thoughts, significant self-harm risk, or severe symptom escalation. The clinic maintains protocols to connect patients with emergency services or higher levels of care when necessary.
Patient responsibilities
Successful treatment depends on attendance, honest reporting of symptoms and side effects, and adherence to agreed-upon medication and therapy plans. Patients are encouraged to raise concerns openly so the team can address them without delay.
