Medication
Management 

Dr. Jordana M. Cotton, Psychiatric NP

I help clients find a balanced mindset with approachable & integrated psychiatric care.

I provide a safe environment and partnership with my clients. We will work together to customize pharmaceutical and therapy solutions based on individual needs.

Maybe you’ve tried therapy, medication, or you are not sure where to start.

Clients come to when when they:

  • Are overwhelmed with worry

  • Are unable to sleep

  • Struggle with concentration

  • Don’t feel like themselves

  • Other treatments haven’t worked

I’m here to make that first step and to walk it with you.

Medication Is Just One Tool We’ll Use

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy 

  • CBT for Insomnia 

  • Mindful Parenting 

  • Perinatal (Pregnancy and Postpartum) Mental Health

  • Hormone-informed care 

    • including HRT for perimenopause/menopause support, libido management

  • Men’s mental and sexual health

  • Executive coaching 

  • Motivational Interviewing

  • Relationship coaching

  • Health coaching

I will patiently work with you to answer all of your questions and underlying or subconscious fears.

I’m trained in:

My approach is motivational and collaborative, and I typically provide medication in combination with therapy, dietary changes, exercise and coaching. Your personalized care plan will meet your unique health and wellness goals. I focus on improving sleep, stress reduction and enhancing executive function. If you already have a therapist, I’ll gladly coordinate care with them to ensure collaborative care. 

Sessions With Me + Starting Together

  • We’ll explore your current challenges, personal and family history and goals for care. I focus on creating a warm therapeutic environment where clients are free to share their inner experience and emotions.

  • Whether that includes medication, coaching, therapy techniques, or lifestyle changes, I’ll take an eclectic approach which incorporates holistic and psychopharmacology techniques. 

  • We’ll check in regularly to see what’s working and make adjustments. My goal is to ensure you’re satisfied with the progress we make towards your wellness goals. I recognize that medications affect everyone differently, and customize treatment for each individual client.  We will work together to maximize treatment benefits with minimal side effects.  

Medication Management That Yields Results

With the right treatment plan, many people begin to feel real shifts in their daily life.

Here’s what that can look like:

  • Decreased overwhelm or worry

  • Improvements in sleep, energy and focus

  • Clearer and more cohesive thoughts

It’s not about changing who you are.  It’s about feeling more like you .
