Many common issues are best treated though both counseling and medication. Some of these issues might include depression, anxiety, panic, sexual performance, ADHD and sleep difficulty. Dallas Whole Life Counseling works with each client to develop a customized approach, utilizing the most effective combination of medication and psychotherapy. For clients who are potentially interested in medication, a two part consultation process is recommended.

First, the client meets with one of Dallas Whole Life Counseling's therapists for an initial consultation and diagnostic evaluation. During this meeting, the therapist will screen the client for symptoms of depression, anxiety, sexual dysfunction and other issues which might benefit from medication as well as psychotherapy. The client's background, life experiences and medication history will also be examined, and the therapist will provide the client with a diagnosis. After discussing the client's treatment goals and resources, a customized treatment plan will be agreed upon.

Second, the client will be matched with the most appropriate physician for a psychiatric screen. Combining this evaluation with the therapist's recommendation, the psychiatrist will prescribe the appropriate medication and, where needed, medical follow-up. Throughout this process, the psychotherapist and physician work closely in tandem, offering the client a uniquely comprehensive, holistic treatment experience.
