More than a prescription pad
“Medication management” is the ongoing clinical work that surrounds a prescription — not just the writing of it. At EuHealth, it starts with a real conversation: a thorough psychiatric evaluation with a clinician who has time for the whole story, not just a symptom list.
You leave that first visit with a plan you understand — what the medication is for, what the first weeks may feel like, which side effects to watch for, and exactly when we’ll check in next. Then the follow-ups do the quiet, important work of making sure the plan is actually helping.
A thorough initial evaluation
Time for your whole story — history, symptoms, what you’ve tried before, what helped, what didn’t, and what you want out of treatment. Not a ten-minute checklist.
Follow-ups that track what’s working
Regular visits look at how you’re sleeping, feeling, and functioning — so decisions are based on your actual life, not guesswork between refills.
Side effects taken seriously
If something feels off, we want to hear about it. A side effect is a reason to adjust the plan — not something you’re expected to push through alone.
Adjustments made collaboratively
Doses change, medications change, and sometimes the right move is fewer medications. Every change is a decision we make together — never a surprise on a printout.
Care led by a board-certified PMHNP
Medication management at EuHealth is provided by Abdoulie Jallow, PMHNP-BC — a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Over ten years in health care, six of them in mental health, licensed in both Oregon and Washington.
In Oregon, PMHNPs are licensed to evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe psychiatric medication independently — the same core work most people picture when they go looking for a psychiatric provider. And if your care ever calls for something outside our scope, we’ll tell you honestly and help arrange the right referral. You can read more about our provider and practice before you ever pick up the phone.

What we treat with medication
Medication can be a meaningful part of treatment for many conditions — and unnecessary for others. That’s what the evaluation is for. These are some of the conditions where careful prescribing most often plays a role:
Not sure what you’re dealing with?
That’s normal — and it’s fine. Start with an evaluation, and we’ll figure out the name for it together.
Refills and follow-ups, without the runaround
Once you’re an established patient, staying on track should be the easy part. Refill requests take a couple of minutes online, and follow-up visits fit around your life — we’re open evenings and weekends, and same-day appointments in Salem are often available when something can’t wait.
Request a refill
Established patients can send a refill request online — no phone tag required. We’ll review it and send the prescription to your pharmacy.

Book an appointmentOne gentle ask: please don’t stop a psychiatric medication abruptly without talking with us first — many need to be tapered gradually. If you’re running low or having doubts, reach out before you run out.
Medication works best as part of a plan
Medication can quiet symptoms enough for the rest of life to become workable again. Therapy builds the skills and works through what’s underneath. Many people do best with both, which is why we offer evidence-based therapy in Salem under the same roof — one team, one plan, no repeating your story to strangers.
And if depression hasn’t responded after fair trials of medication, that doesn’t mean you’re out of options. We offer Deep TMS in Salem — a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment for major depressive disorder, including treatment-resistant depression, with no anesthesia and no downtime. It works alongside your existing plan, and you can learn more on our depression treatment page.
Cost shouldn’t decide any of this for you. We accept most major plans, including the Oregon Health Plan — see our insurance and fees page, or call and we’ll verify your coverage for you.
Questions people actually ask
Do I need a psychiatrist, or can a psychiatric nurse practitioner prescribe my medication?
In Oregon, board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PMHNPs) are licensed to evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe psychiatric medication independently. For most people looking for medication management, that’s exactly the care they had in mind when they searched for a psychiatrist. And if your situation ever calls for physician-level care, we’ll say so plainly and help you find the right referral.
Will I be rushed onto medication?
No. Every new patient starts with a thorough evaluation, and medication is one tool among several — sometimes the plan is therapy first, or simply watching and waiting. If medication does make sense, we’ll explain why, what to expect, and what the alternatives are. The decision stays yours.
How often will I have follow-up appointments?
As often as you need — especially early on, while we’re learning how a medication affects you. Visits are usually closer together at the start, then spread out once things feel steady. Because we’re open evenings and weekends, follow-ups can fit around work and family instead of competing with them.
What if my medication isn’t working, or the side effects are bad?
Say so — that’s exactly what follow-ups are for. It’s common for the first medication or dose to need adjusting, and it doesn’t mean treatment has failed. We’ll look together at what you’re experiencing and change course: a different dose, a different medication, or a different approach entirely.
Can you take over prescribing from my current provider?
Yes. If your provider is retiring, your insurance changed, or you simply want care closer to home, we can take over your psychiatric prescriptions. With your permission, we’ll request your records so nothing gets lost in the handoff. Call or text us and we’ll walk you through it.
Prescribing that actually listens
Whether you’re starting fresh, switching providers, or wondering if your current medication is still right — call or text, and we’ll take it from the top together.
