Finding the right psychiatric medication — and the right provider to manage it — can make all the difference in achieving stability and lasting wellness. At Cura Mind and Wellness, we provide personalized medication management services for patients across the Houston metro area, with a dedicated office in Richmond, TX.
Our care is led by Vivian Emuobe, MSN, BSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with experience treating patients in both inpatient and outpatient settings. She works closely with each patient to monitor response, adjust treatment when necessary, and ensure medications are improving quality of life — not just masking symptoms.
What Is Medication Management?
Medication management is more than writing prescriptions. At Cura Mind and Wellness, it involves:
- Comprehensive evaluation to determine the need for medication.
- Careful prescribing based on evidence, patient history, and treatment goals.
- Regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress and adjust dosages.
- Education and support so patients fully understand their medication and treatment plan.
- Collaboration with therapists, primary care providers, or specialists when appropriate.
This holistic approach helps ensure treatment is safe, effective, and tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
