Rachael Spisak
I have been a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner for ten years. I am passionate about helping people struggling with eating disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, & anxiety. My current clinical focus is female clients aged 18 & up, but please reach out if that does not describe you and you believe we may be a good fit to work with each other.

Although there will be therapeutic nature to our sessions, my primary role in our sessions is diagnosis, evaluation and medication management. I prefer to work with clients who work with (or are planning to work with) a therapist. I believe pharmaceuticals are only a piece of the puzzle, and working with a therapist alongside utilizing pharmaceuticals can allow for a better outcome. I am happy to collaborate with your therapist.
First session
During our first session, we will review what circumstances, emotions, and experiences brought you (or your child) to seek support. You will be listened to with openness and curiosity. We will create a plan for how to proceed forward & determine how often we should meet to monitor your progress.
Strengths
I have worked in multiple settings supporting people through various levels of severity of emotional distress. From these experiences, I believe I have come to provide a presence of non-judgement and a willingness to learn from & along with everyone I encounter.
Ideal clients
My experience includes working in all levels of psychiatric care, but I have the most experience in working with women experiencing eating disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, and anxiety. Although I am not able to provide any kind of such therapies directly, I have an interest in working with clients who are undergoing psychedelic assisted therapies elsewhere and have an openness to learning how psychedelics (or any other “unconventional” healing modalities) are assisting you in your life’s journey. I am also happy to work with people who prefer to utilize minimal psychiatric medication.
Treatment methods
Relational
My love for what I do in psychiatry comes from getting to walk with people on their journey in improving their life, reaching their goals, and accessing their true self. My practice philosophy is based on evidence, your autonomy, & shared decision making.
