(she/her)
My name is Guylaine Dunac. I am a board-certified family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). My education and training have equipped me to treat my clients holistically using the latest evidence-based treatments. I approach patient care with empathy and understanding and strive to educate the public and my peers about the stigma associated with mental illness and substance use disorders. My patient care strategy involves conducting thorough assessments and creating personalized treatment plans, therapy, or medication management.
During our first session, we will take the time to get to know each other, discuss the specific challenges that you are facing or struggling with, and identify the best evidence-based treatments and approaches to address your conditions. Together, we will establish individualized, focused, and attainable goals.
As a provider, my greatest strength lies in ensuring that my patients feel understood and supported with their psychiatric needs. I work collaboratively with them to develop and follow a treatment plan, encouraging their active involvement. I understand that your time is precious, and I want to use our sessions effectively to meet your needs and address your concerns.
I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 10 years of experience. I specialize in treating adolescents and adults for a variety of psychiatric diagnoses, which include anxiety, depression, substance abuse, PTSD, insomnia, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) because it effectively addresses various issues. CBT focuses on understanding the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and provides practical strategies to help individuals challenge and change unhelpful thought patterns. It is goal-oriented and yields tangible results in a relatively short time.
