Sarah Katula, PhD, APRN-BC, is an advanced practice nurse who provides Life Care Wellness clients with medication assessments and, if needed, medication management. Dr. Katula takes a holistic approach to mental health and prescribing medications. All areas of health are addressed before starting medications for mental health benefits.
Dr. Katula notes that some people’s brains need neurotransmitter support in the form of medication. Other people require lifestyle changes along with in-depth psychotherapy and possibly trauma work. Some individuals need all of those modalities. If a brain needs medication to function better, we often see that once medication support is provided, the patient can more easily do the therapeutic work in earnest.
The path to better mental health is a journey, and medication (if needed) can be one small part of that journey. The Life Care Wellness team supports and helps the entirety of you grow and reach your full potential.
