Medication Management for Fort Worth Patients
Good psychiatric medication management is far more than writing a prescription. For Fort Worth 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. Fort Worth patients get longer, unhurried appointments instead of the typical rushed 15-minute visit.
Medication Management in Fort Worth: the local picture
Fort Worth is the seat of Tarrant County and the western anchor of a metroplex that keeps stretching further out. It carries a working identity — logistics, aviation manufacturing, the stockyards trade that still shapes how the city sees itself — alongside a downtown professional core and a substantial medical district. Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth sits on the west side, so service members, reservists, and military families are a routine part of the local patient population rather than an exception. That mix matters clinically: the shift schedules, deployment cycles, and physically demanding work histories that show up in a Fort Worth intake are not the same ones that show up in a suburban practice.
Getting care in Fort Worth
The practical problem in Fort Worth is rarely that no psychiatrist exists — it is that the ones taking new patients are concentrated in a few districts, and getting to them means crossing the city at a time of day when that is genuinely expensive. For someone working a fixed shift, an appointment that costs two hours of driving on either side is an appointment that gets cancelled. Willow & Stone is based in Arlington, minutes east, but sees Fort Worth patients by secure video rather than asking them to make that drive.
What this means for Fort Worth patients
Medication management for service members and veterans has to account for what is already prescribed across more than one care system, where interactions and duplications are easy to miss. It also has to account for clearance and duty concerns honestly — those concerns are frequently based on outdated assumptions, and leaving them unaddressed is what stops people from starting treatment.
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.
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.
