Medication Management for Carlsbad Patients
Good psychiatric medication management is far more than writing a prescription. For Carlsbad patients, Dr. Stacey Forbes, DNP, PMHNP-BC, takes the time to understand your full history, optimize your regimen, and monitor closely — all by secure telehealth.
Who benefits from medication management
- ✓Anyone starting a new psychiatric medication
- ✓People whose current medication isn’t working well
- ✓Those managing side effects or complex regimens
- ✓Patients seeking a second opinion on their medications
- ✓Anyone wanting a root-cause view alongside medication
Our Treatment Approach
Dr. Forbes personalizes medication selection and dosing, monitors response over time, and pairs prescribing with attention to labs, nutrition, and the gut-brain connection. GeneSight pharmacogenomic testing can help guide choices. Carlsbad patients get longer, unhurried appointments instead of the typical rushed 15-minute visit.
Why Telehealth Works for Carlsbad
Carlsbad's mining and energy economy supports a growing population with essentially no local psychiatric options — a gap telehealth directly fills. Telehealth removes the biggest barriers to care — travel, time off work, and long waits — so Carlsbad residents can see Dr. Forbes from home. Research shows telepsychiatry is comparable to in-person care for evaluation, medication management, and follow-up.
