What Is Medication Management?
Medication management is the process of evaluating, prescribing, and monitoring psychotropic medications to ensure optimal mental health outcomes. This service is integrated into your broader treatment plan and is designed to complement therapy, lifestyle adjustments, and other supports.
Our Lafayette-based providers take the time to:
- Review your medical and mental health history
- Discuss your current symptoms and treatment goals
- Monitor progress and side effects
- Adjust dosages or medications as needed
Whether you’re newly considering medication or have been managing your mental health for years, our team will guide you through every step of the process with care and transparency.
Collaborative and Compassionate Care in Acadiana
At Aucoin & Associates, we emphasize a team-based approach. If you’re already working with a therapist, primary care physician, or pediatrician, we’ll collaborate closely with them to coordinate your care. For clients in Lafayette and surrounding Acadiana communities—including Youngsville, Broussard, Carencro, Scott, and beyond—this integrative model ensures continuity and clarity.
If you’ve been prescribed medication elsewhere and are transitioning to our practice, we will review your current regimen and ensure it aligns with your needs. If you’re starting from scratch, our psychiatric providers will help determine if medication is warranted and walk you through your options.
A Personalized Experience
Just as therapy is not one-size-fits-all, neither is medication. Our providers take the time to understand your lifestyle, preferences, and medical needs to recommend the most appropriate course of treatment. We also offer genetic testing through Genomind™ for clients who want deeper insight into how their body processes psychiatric medications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions do you prescribe medication for?
The evaluation process will identify the specific areas of learning that a student is struggling with, as well as measure their eligibility for special education services. With a diagnosis, schools can provide the extra support your student will need to excel in the classroom.
Do I have to be in therapy to receive medication management?
No, you do not have to be in therapy to receive medication management at our practice. While we often recommend therapy as part of a well-rounded treatment plan, our psychiatric providers are available to support clients solely seeking medication services.
Can I see a prescribing doctor or nurse practitioner virtually?
Yes, we offer telehealth medication management services for clients throughout the Acadiana region.
What if I already have a prescription from another doctor?
We’ll review your current medication and collaborate with your existing providers to ensure you continue to receive consistent, high-quality care.
