Weaving Together Care and Caution

At Mending we often talk about threads and stitches, because healing is not about one simple fix. Psychiatry is not patching over symptoms with more pills. It is about weaving together evaluation, therapy, biology, and relationships into something stronger.

The Risks of “More Meds”

Medication can be powerful and life changing when used wisely. But adding prescription after prescription without caution can lead to real harm:

• Tolerance or dependence that makes symptoms worse over time

• Side effects and interactions that create new problems

• Masking root causes instead of addressing them

• Short term fixes that delay long term stability

Medication should be a carefully chosen tool, not a pile of bandages.

Prescribing With Purpose

At Mending, we call our approach prescribing with purpose. That means:

Evidence based, not expectation based
We follow research and clinical guidelines, not pressure.

Safety first
Every prescription or adjustment is weighed against risks and your full health picture.

Transparent conversations
If we recommend or decline a change, we explain why and what the alternatives are.

Ongoing monitoring
Care does not stop at the prescription. We check in, review, and adjust with you over time.

No shortcuts
Healing takes honesty and patience. We are not a “quick fix” clinic.

What Patients Can Expect Here

When you join Mending, we start with a full evaluation. We review your history, your current medications, your goals, and your risks. If a prescription is safe and effective, we continue it. If it is not, we explain why and work with you on better options.

You can expect transparency and collaboration, but not automatic refills or unsafe combinations. If what you want is fast scripts without discussion, we are not the right fit.

Why This Matters

• You deserve care that protects your health

• Our providers must practice responsibly to protect their licenses and our clinic

• Our community deserves a clinic that does not hand out unsafe prescriptions

• When we hold to these values, we build trust with patients who want healing, not shortcuts

In Closing

If you are looking for a place where care is handled with safety and integrity, welcome to Mending. We will walk with you, thread by thread, toward stability and long term wellness.
