Medication Management
Thoughtful, personalized psychiatric prescribing — built around you, not a checklist
Telehealth across all of North Carolina · Serving Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Chapel Hill, and beyond
Medication can be life-changing — but only when it's the right medication, at the right dose, for the right person. Good psychiatric care is more than writing a prescription. It's listening, refining, and partnering with you over time.
At Renew Wellness & Behavioral Health, Umi-Aisha Thomas, PMHNP-BC, provides comprehensive medication management for adults across North Carolina. Every plan is tailored to your symptoms, your history, your goals, and your life.
You are not a diagnosis. You are a whole person — and your medication plan should reflect that.

What Sets Our Approach Apart
Comprehensive Initial Evaluation
A full 60-minute intake that explores symptoms, history, prior medication trials, lifestyle, and goals — so the first prescription isn't a guess.
Evidence-Based Prescribing
Recommendations grounded in current psychiatric guidelines, with clear explanations of why a medication is being chosen and what to expect.
Careful Monitoring
Regular follow-ups to track response, side effects, and tolerability — adjusting doses and switching agents when needed.
Collaboration With Therapists
Medication works best alongside therapy. We coordinate with your therapist whenever possible for truly integrated care.
Transparent Conversations
Honest discussion of risks, benefits, alternatives, and your preferences. You're always a partner in the decision.
What to Expect
60-Minute Comprehensive Intake
A thorough psychiatric evaluation covering symptoms, history, prior treatments, family history, and goals.
Personalized Treatment Plan
A clear, individualized recommendation — including medication options, expected timelines, and side-effect considerations.
Ongoing Follow-Up
Regular 30-minute follow-ups to monitor response, fine-tune doses, and ensure long-term stability.
Finding the right medication is rarely a one-visit process. It's a partnership — and we're committed to walking it with you.
