Medication management at Quest Wellness Center is the psychiatric evaluation and ongoing oversight of medications used to treat adult mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. A board-certified psychiatrist assesses your symptoms, history, and lifestyle, prescribes the fewest and safest medications needed, and adjusts the plan over time. We pair medication with therapy. We accept most commercial PPO plans with out-of-network benefits.
Medication management is the outpatient evaluation and oversight of psychotropic medications used to treat adult mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. It supports the safe and effective use of medication and adds a layer of accountability that helps clients stay on track with their prescriptions so they can focus on recovery. It is more than writing a prescription: it is an ongoing process of assessment, monitoring, and adjustment. Many clients come to Quest after trying several medications without relief, feeling hesitant to try again, or struggling with side effects, and the goal is to find the fewest and safest medications that work while integrating other therapies for whole-person care.
Medication management at Quest is led by Dr. Neda Javaherian, a board-certified psychiatrist who specializes in depression, anxiety, ADHD, and addiction. Dr. Javaherian is a member of the American College of Psychiatrists and the American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology. She trained at USC Medical Center and later taught its medical students and residents, and she brings that clinical and teaching background to every treatment plan. Having a board-certified psychiatrist oversee medication means decisions about what to prescribe, how to combine medications, and when to adjust are made by a physician with deep training in psychopharmacology, not handed off or treated as routine.
Medication management is for adults whose mental health symptoms interfere with daily life and who could benefit from psychiatric medication as part of their care. It helps people newly diagnosed who want medication started and monitored properly, people already on medication who need their regimen reviewed or simplified, and people who have tried several medications without relief and feel hesitant to try again. It also fits clients managing a mental health condition alongside substance use, where medication and addiction treatment need to be coordinated rather than handled separately. Because every patient is unique and so is their response to medication, the starting point is always an individual assessment rather than a standard prescription.
Medication management at Quest supports adults managing a range of psychiatric conditions, often alongside therapy in our programs. Our specialists conduct a comprehensive assessment for accurate diagnosis and treatment of conditions including:
Because many clients face more than one of these at once, medication management is integrated with the dual-diagnosis and mental health care offered across our programs, so medication and therapy work from the same plan.
Quest offers medication management both in person at our North Hollywood facility and through secure telehealth, so you can meet with the psychiatric team in the way that works for your schedule. Medication management is available on its own and as part of our PHP, IOP, and outpatient programs, where it is coordinated with group and individual therapy. Whether you attend on site or online, the same assessment, monitoring, and follow-up structure applies.
Quest Wellness Center accepts most commercial PPO plans with out-of-network benefits, and we verify your coverage before treatment begins. What you pay depends on your plan, deductible, and coinsurance. Call (818) 275-9810 or verify your insurance to get exact numbers for your plan.

Medication management begins with a thorough initial consultation. During that first visit, the psychiatrist takes time to understand you fully, assessing your specific stressors, symptoms, physical condition, and lifestyle, including sleep patterns, physical activity, and diet, before making decisions about the most effective medication for your condition. From there, care is ongoing rather than one-time: the team monitors how you respond, tracks progress, and adjusts the plan as your needs change. Treatment recommendations may include not only medication but also therapy and other evidence-based interventions, delivered in an empathetic, non-judgmental, and supportive way.
A large part of medication management is solving the practical problems that get in the way of treatment. The team works to keep care affordable by finding cost-effective alternatives, including generics, and accessible by making sure prescriptions are refilled when and where they are needed. They address side effects directly, simplify complex medication regimens, and replace high-risk medications with safer alternatives whenever possible to help prevent dependency.
Lasting recovery takes more than medication; it takes ongoing counseling, consistent follow-up, and supportive long-term care. Quest pairs medication management with therapy through an approach the team calls Medication Management Therapy, where therapists and the prescribing psychiatrist work together to track progress. Clients are encouraged to take an active role in their own treatment plan, the team makes regular adjustments as needs evolve, and care addresses not just symptoms but the underlying triggers behind them. This balance between physical treatment and emotional support is what helps medication produce durable results rather than temporary relief.

No. Changes you feel on the right medication usually reflect a reduction in symptoms rather than a loss of identity. The goal is stability, and the team adjusts the plan if a medication does not feel right.
Quest provides medication management for depression and mood disorders, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, ADHD, psychotic disorders, insomnia, and co-occurring substance use and mental health conditions.
Not necessarily. Medications are often part of a short-term plan rather than a lifetime commitment, and each plan is individualized. The team reviews your progress and adjusts over time.

Medication management is often stigmatized, and understanding how it actually works can reduce fear and misconceptions. Medications support the brain’s natural ability to regulate mood and behavior, and balanced neurotransmitters are part of healthy functioning, much like other parts of the body need support to work well. The stability medication provides is what frees clients to focus on therapy and personal growth rather than just managing symptoms day to day. A few points the clinical team wants clients to know:
Even with the right medication, some clients still struggle with old coping patterns or ingrained habits. Counseling helps unlearn those patterns and build healthier strategies, which is why medication at Quest is always part of a broader plan rather than a stand-alone fix.
