Dr. James Walker is a Board Certified Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychiatrist who specializes in medication management. Medications can be a useful tool for mental health. Many pharmaceuticals have been discovered to have beneficial effects for a wide variety of issues. All medications can have side effects, and the pros and cons of any medication should be carefully weighed when making these decisions. Often, medication paired with therapy and lifestyle changes achieve the best results. Medication management should be personalized and tailored to your needs. Regular, close follow-up is important to monitor effectiveness and side effects.

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • OCD
  • ADHD
  • Bipolar Disorder
  • PTSD
  • Tic Disorder/Tourette Syndrome

  • Schizophrenia & Other Psychotic Disorders
