PMHNP, 18 years of experience
I worked as a Registered Nurse at a hospital for about 12 years on a unit that specializes in Mood Disorders, like depression and bipolar disorder, and Eating Disorders. I have been working as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner since 2018. I am straightforward and will do my best to meet you, figuratively, where you are. I would like to involve you in a clinically appropriate plan. We will discuss options and I will answer questions before we proceed. I primarily do medication management but supplement with brief supportive therapy. I do return emails/calls and I value being able to speak with other providers treating you, such as therapists and primary care providers.
In our first meeting, we will start with introductions and the reason for the meeting. We will review symptoms and likely come up with a plan that is clinically appropriate and that you think is reasonable. You will have my contact information and be given an opportunity to have your questions answered.
Working with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and eating disorders has been fulfilling. I listen and do my best to teach the people I work with to combat these symptoms with a variety of tools. I am straightforward but also compassionate.
Age 8 and older seeking medication management and brief supportive therapy. The one exception is that I am not taking new patients over age 16 seeking treatment with stimulants.
Medication, exercise, and lifestyle changes are the primary treatment methods I use. We will determine what is most appropriate through our discussions. I also do brief supportive therapy.

James Perritt helped with medications and check in during a difficult time in my teen's life. They were easy to work with, very responsive, organized, and efficient. They made my teen feel comfortable and asked probing questions, when necessary, in an unobtrusive way. I appreciated their directness and humor. My teen is on a better track managing their anxiety because of James' help.
