While staying connected with their trusted medication management provider in collaboration at Cortes Counseling, clients have the opportunity to meet over telehealth or in person with a highly trained APRN. Their specialties include anxiety, depression, mood and personality disorders, anger management, ADHD, and many more for children, teens, and adults. Similar to general therapy, the Medication Management program accepts all major insurances, including Husky.
