At Crystal Cove Wellness, medication is never the first tool reached for — it is considered thoughtfully, within the context of a comprehensive evaluation of your symptoms, history, goals, and personal preferences. When medication is recommended, Breanna discusses all options clearly before prescribing.
Follow-up visits ensure your medication continues to be appropriate, effective, and well-tolerated — with adjustments made as your needs evolve over time.
Patients who have not previously tried psychiatric medication and are seeking their first evaluation and, if appropriate, prescription.
Patients currently on psychiatric medications who are transitioning providers and need ongoing prescribing and clinical support.
Patients whose current medication regimen isn't providing adequate symptom relief or is causing side effects that interfere with daily life.
Patients with multiple diagnoses or prior medication trials who need a thoughtful, experienced clinician to reassess and optimize their care.
The initial evaluation includes a comprehensive review of your mental health history, current symptoms, prior medication trials, medical background, and treatment goals. This thorough assessment informs every medication recommendation.
If medication is appropriate, Breanna will discuss your options in plain language — including expected benefits, potential side effects, timing of effect, and what to monitor as you start. You will never feel pressured to take medication; the decision is made collaboratively.
Follow-up appointments are scheduled at clinically appropriate intervals to assess your response, address any concerns, and make adjustments. All appointments are available via secure telehealth — from Newport Beach, Irvine, Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, or anywhere in California, for patients of all ages.
