Medication Management for Mansfield Patients
Good psychiatric medication management is far more than writing a prescription. For Mansfield 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

- ✓People whose current medication isn’t working well

- ✓Patients seeking a second opinion on their medications

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. Mansfield patients get longer, unhurried appointments instead of the typical rushed 15-minute visit.
Medication Management in Mansfield: the local picture
Mansfield has grown from a small town on the southern edge of Tarrant County into a family suburb, and it grew faster than the local specialty care around it. The households moving in are disproportionately families with school-age and teenage children, which is precisely the demographic that generates demand for adolescent psychiatric evaluation — school-identified attention concerns, anxiety that surfaces in middle school, mood changes that parents can see but cannot interpret. Pediatricians here are the first stop for most of it, and the referral queue for adolescent psychiatry is where those families tend to stall.
Getting care in Mansfield
A Mansfield family referred to adolescent psychiatry is usually being referred toward Fort Worth or Arlington, meaning a teenager misses part of a school day and a parent misses part of a work day for every appointment — including the routine medication follow-ups that should be brief. That cost compounds over a treatment course and is a common reason families stop before a medication is properly titrated. Video visits let a follow-up happen in the twenty minutes after school instead of consuming an afternoon. The city sits at the southern edge of Tarrant County, far enough from the medical districts in Fort Worth and Arlington that nothing is a short trip, and its own medical infrastructure has lagged well behind how quickly the population arrived. Adult patients here describe the same problem from the other side: the appointment is affordable and still impossible, because it sits in the middle of a workday on the far side of a commute they are already making.
What this means for Mansfield patients
Medication questions in family communities frequently involve pregnancy, breastfeeding, or a family history that shapes what is appropriate. These deserve a real discussion of risk and benefit rather than a reflexive avoidance that leaves a parent untreated.
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.
