Patricia Brown Gordon
For over 5 years I have been providing medication management and supportive therapy to patients 18 years old to geriatric diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. My main focus in caring for my patients is to listen carefully to their needs and formulate a care plan that will allow them to function at their best. I believe in patient advocacy and empowerment through delivery of quality and compassionate care. I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice from Florida Atlantic University.
First session
At our first session we will get to know each other and begin building trust and creating a therapeutic alliance. Let's talk about the things that are important to you, your goals and aspirations and how we will work together to achieve those goals. You will feel welcomed, safe and heard.
Strengths
When treating my patients I focus on mental health while ensuring that I explore other factors that might be contributing to the patient's condition such as medical problems, so it is important for me to be aware of their medical history and obtain labs and order tests where necessary. I collaborate with other providers to ensure medications and treatment are not in conflict with treatment being administered by patient's specialist and primary care physician.
Treatment methods
Supportive
The supportive therapy I provide in my practice complements the medication management provided to my patients. Supportive therapy involves active listening, validation, encouragement and advice while providing a strong focus on building a supportive therapeutic alliance. It is important for building self-esteem and promote coping mechanisms in a safe, nonjudgemental environment.
Psychoeducation
I provide psychoeducation to my patient as I believe it is important that they understand their mental health conditions, symptoms and treatment. Providing this information to my patient helps them to cope with their condition and reduces stigma and improves treatment outcomes.
