Eileen Stengel
I am a firm believer in a person’s strengths, bravery and perseverance in not only being a survivor but a thriver regarding life circumstances. I am equally as passionate about the benefits of initiating psychotropic medications if warranted. However, I do like people to appreciate that there are no “magic pills” and in order to receive a full benefit with achieving mental health includes the need for therapy in addition to medications. I am not a propronent of long term use of benzodiazepine's. If this is an agent that is needed please explore other providers that could assist with this.
I review brain chemistry and what are the chemicals we are targeting to give someone relief and improve one’s quality of life.
I graduated with my BSN in 1993 I graduated as an adult/geriatric nurse practitioner in 2013 I graduated as a psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioner in 2022
