Psychiatric care, tailored to you
NorthStar’s psychiatric providers build a medication plan around each patient’s history, goals and preferences — then adjust it together over time. In person in Eugene, Portland and Vancouver, WA, or by telehealth.
- Free consultation
- Most health plans accepted
- In-person or telehealth
More than a prescription
Medication management is ongoing psychiatric care focused on finding the right medication, at the right dose, with as few side effects as possible. It starts with a thorough evaluation and continues with regular check-ins, so the plan can change as life does.
Medications have long been central to psychiatry, and the options keep improving. The right fit is different for everyone — which is why our providers take time to understand each patient’s history, past treatments and goals before recommending anything, and stay involved afterward.
At NorthStar, medication management is often one part of a broader plan that can include psychotherapy and, when appropriate, advanced treatments like TMS.
How it works
- Free consultation. A short call with our team to answer questions, check insurance and find the right provider and location.
- Initial evaluation. A full psychiatric evaluation with a [psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner] — about [60] minutes covering history, current concerns, past medications and goals.
- Your treatment plan. Your provider explains the options, including benefits and possible side effects, and you decide together on a starting plan.
- Ongoing follow-ups. Regular visits of about [20–30] minutes to see how things are going and adjust the plan, in person or by telehealth.

- Depression

Why patients choose NorthStar
- A plan built around you. No one-size-fits-all prescriptions. Your provider considers your history, past treatments, lifestyle and preferences, and changes course when something isn’t working.
- Care under one roof. Medication management, psychotherapy and advanced treatments are all available at NorthStar, so your providers can coordinate instead of working in silos.
- More options when medication isn’t enough. For some people, medication alone doesn’t bring the relief they hoped for. NorthStar also offers TMS therapy and a range of FDA-approved medications as next steps your provider can discuss with you.
One of the cornerstones of traditional psychiatry has been the use of medications to treat patients. While there have been some great advancements in treatment options, medications will likely always have a role in helping treat mental illness.
As we develop a plan for patients, our goal is to help patients get back to having no symptoms. Often to achieve this goal we use a combination of medication, psychotherapy, and other treatments such as TMS. At NorthStar our goal is to tailor a treatment plan to your individual needs using all appropriate options to help.
