Hello, I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse practitioner with almost a decade of experience in providing care to individuals both inpatient and outpatient. I work with individuals with severe depression, anxiety, mood disorder and psychosis. Provide telehealth services in Texas for outpatient clients. I am available for therapy both for young and adults. Provides medication management and psychotherapy management depending on what patient are more comfortable with.
In my first session with my client, I normally take time to know the patient. An extensive introduction and background knowledge of the patient is important in order to give excellent care. That will take us to specific issues that needed to be addressed and how to go about it.
As a provider, it is important for me to listen to my patients. I take time to know what the root cause is in order to come up with effective treatment plan. I believe in involving patients in their treatment plan to get the best results.
I mostly take care of patient with depression and anxiety. In most cases, patient that are overwhelmed and stress with life comes for therapy and medication management. I also take care of school age children who are going through depression due to bullying in school and other issues that affects their wellbeing
CBT is used in variety of ways depending on the situation patient is. In most cases, patient is allowed to discuss their thoughts and feelings towards the situation they are in. Then, patient will be encouraged to find positive ways to resolve the issue or replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts.
