Medication Management

When Counseling Alone Isn't Enough

Meet Samantha Capistrant, PMHNP

Prescriber of Psychiatric Mental Health Medication

A Partner in Your Care:

To further support our families, Samantha Capistrant, PMHNP, has joined our team to assist with medication management. Samantha’s philosophy is rooted in meeting patients exactly where they are. She believes in the power of listening first and respects that you are the expert on your own life. She is not here to change medications that are already working for you or to prescribe anything that isn’t absolutely necessary. Instead, she focuses on educating her patients and supporting your personal goals, ensuring you feel heard and empowered in every decision.

A Philosophy of Listening & Stability


Samantha’s primary goal is to provide compassionate and competent care by acting as a true patient advocate. She understands that in a community where things change quickly, stability is key.

          • Respecting What Works: She is not interested in changing your medications just for the sake of change. If your current plan is working, her priority is to support that stability and keep you feeling your best.
          • Meeting You Where You Are: Samantha has spent years working in crisis consultation and emergency mental health, meaning she is comfortable in difficult situations and knows how to meet people where they are without judgment.
          • Education as Empowerment: She believes that you should be the expert on your own health. She focuses heavily on teaching patients and family members so that you fully understand your options and feel in control of your journey.

What to Expect

The first appointment will be an evaluation to see if Psychiatric Medication is appropriate. It will consist of getting height, weight, temperature, and blood pressure then discussing your medical and mental health history. Some medications may require lab work and/or assessments. If you are currently or have previously been on Psychiatric Medication, records will need to be reviewed prior to the first appointment. To review your records we request that all new clients stop by our office or fill out online the Detail Release Of Information Form. This form can be found on the bottom of the website under the Forms section. If you decide to fill this form out at home and want to submit it electronically, we ask that you email the Detail Release Of Information Form to the email listed on our Contact Us page located at the bottom of our website under Company.

Our company provides counseling services to all ages with anxiety, depression, transition issues, severe mental health issues, ADHD, and divorce.
