Medication Management for Arlington Patients
Good psychiatric medication management is far more than writing a prescription. For Arlington 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. Arlington patients get longer, unhurried appointments instead of the typical rushed 15-minute visit.
Medication Management in Arlington: the local picture
Arlington sits squarely between Dallas and Fort Worth and belongs fully to neither, which shapes almost everything about getting care here. The University of Texas at Arlington puts a large student and young-adult population in the center of the city — a group that shows up for first-time ADHD evaluation and for anxiety that has finally started interfering with coursework. Around the university sits an entertainment district whose stadiums and venues run on evening and weekend labor, and a broad service economy built to support it. Willow & Stone's own office is in Arlington, at Arlington Highlands, so this is the practice's home ground rather than an abstract service area.
Getting care in Arlington
Arlington has no commuter rail, which is a bigger obstacle to routine mental health care than it sounds. A patient without a reliable car is dependent on a bus system built around the university, and a standing appointment across town becomes something to reschedule rather than keep. Students and shift workers face the same constraint from opposite directions — one has classes stacked through the day, the other works when clinics are closed. Video visits fit into a break between classes or before a shift starts, which is the only way some of these appointments happen at all.
What this means for Arlington patients
Students need a prescriber who can maintain treatment across semesters and summers, which is exactly where campus-based care usually ends. The most common reason a young adult's medication fails is not the medication — it is a gap in continuity when the academic year breaks.
Dosing timing is not a detail for shift workers; it is the whole problem. A medication scheduled for morning means nothing when mornings move every few weeks, and getting the timing wrong is a frequent and avoidable cause of both poor response and unnecessary side effects.
Sedating side effects matter differently for someone driving two hours a day, and that has to shape which medication is chosen and when it is taken. It is a specific, practical question that a rushed appointment reliably skips.
