Now Offering Mental Health Medication Management Across Virginia
If you’ve ever searched for “mental health help near me”, “psychiatric medication in Wise County”, or “where to get anxiety or depression medication in Abingdon,” you’re not alone — and we’re here to help.
At Anchoring Hope Counseling (AHC), we are excited to announce the expansion of our services to include medication management for mental health. This means that in addition to therapy, our clients across Virginia and in-office in Abingdon, Pennington Gap, and Wise, VA now have access to personalized medication support, all in one place.
What Is Medication Management for Mental Health?
Medication management is the process of working with a licensed provider to determine if medications like antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, or ADHD treatments could support your mental health. It also includes regular check-ins to monitor side effects, make adjustments, and ensure the medication is actually helping you feel better — not worse.
At AHC, this isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” approach. You’ll be heard, your concerns will be taken seriously, and your treatment plan will reflect your individual needs and goals.
Why People Consider Mental Health Medications
Many people in our Southwest Virginia communities reach out to us when:
Therapy alone isn’t getting them where they want to be
They feel stuck in cycles of depression or anxiety
Sleep, focus, or energy levels are affecting daily life
They’ve been wondering if they might have ADHD or PTSD
A friend or doctor suggested trying medication
Taking medication for your mental health is not a sign of weakness — it's a sign of trying something that could help you get back to feeling like you again.
Common Concerns About Mental Health Medications
We get it — the idea of taking medication can feel intimidating. You might be thinking:
“Will I feel like a zombie?”
“What if it changes who I am?”
“What if I get dependent on it?”
“I don’t want to be on medication forever.”
These are valid concerns. At Anchoring Hope, our providers take the time to talk through every question you have. Our goal is not to push medication — it's to provide honest, supportive guidance so you can make an informed decision. And if medication isn’t the right fit for you? That’s okay too.
Why Combining Therapy + Medication Can Be So Powerful
Research shows that therapy and medication together can be more effective than either one alone — especially for conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and ADHD. Medication can help balance brain chemistry, making it easier for you to engage in therapy and use the tools you learn there. It’s a team approach, and we’re here for all of it.
