Comprehensive Approach

At The Mind Store we take a comprehensive approach to your care. We utilize all the latest scientific research and technologies to guide and treat you. We often recommend genetic testing before prescribing medications to increase effectiveness and reduce the chance of side effects.

Additionally, your clinician, who prescribes your medications, will also be facilitating your talk therapy to ensure that they know you well, inside and out. We do not schedule 15 minute “med checks” because this does not provide enough time to gain a meaningful understanding of how medications are affecting you, or if there is an external factor that is playing a role in your symptoms.

MEDICATION MONITORING

According to the World Health Organization, over half of all people with chronic medical conditions do not take their medications as prescribed. The Mind Store’s medication monitoring services help you stay consistent which is key to achieving your treatment goals.

Medication’s Role in Treatment

Medications can play a key role in the treatment of mental health disorders and conditions. They can reduce problematic symptoms that often affect an individual’s ability to engage in their life and feel their best. This can further pave the way for other methods of a treatment plan to be more effective. In fact, it is commonplace practice to utilize medicine in conjunction with talk and behavioral therapies, medical foods, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to optimize functioning and enhance quality of life. For example, a medication can ease symptoms of depression like lack of concentration, allowing an individual to more effectively engage in talk therapy.

"Their entire team is FABULOUS. They have always treated me with dignity and respect. I have watched them with other clients as well and I see their genuine compassion for everyone that walks thru the door. I initially went to them because I moved to CO in late 2017 and they were the first place that had an opening. I needed a psychiatrist to keep me on my Rx. I was surprised when Dr Park spent more than 15 mins going over my past Rx history with me, as has been my experience for many years. Not only did we discuss Rx, he then spent another 45 mins talking to me as a counselor. I had never had a psychiatrist/counselor combo before and was amazed at how effective it is when your Dr hears more about what's going in your life than just the effects of your current Rx. This treatment model is not practiced by someone that doesn't care about his patients. He could offer the basics that most psychiatrists offer and still bill insurance the same amount but he wants his patients to succeed and is invested in their progress. He also doesn't believe in keeping someone in therapy forever. Even if it means less income for him, when you stabilize to the point that you have better things to do than spend 30 mins with him, it's a sign that you may be ready to engage in therapy less often and he will tell you that. Dr Park has been a life and marriage saver for me and he is amazingly efficient. He gets done in 1-2 sessions what would take 6 months for another counselor because he doesn't dance around the issues. To do this, he may be more blunt with you than you might have experienced before and that may be off putting to some. If you are ready to do the hard work to make your life enjoyable again, Dr Park is your man! He also got me hooked up with TMS. If you are someone that has struggled with depression for a long time and taken Rx that hasn't been effective, talk to someone about TMS. It's a game changer. It may sound like hokey fake science. It's not. It works and works fast. THANK YOU!"
