As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I am dedicated to helping you become the best version of yourself. When you're ready to leave the stress and discomfort behind, I’m here to guide you with compassionate, evidence-based care. While I believe in the power of lifestyle modifications to promote mental wellness, I also offer medication management when necessary to ensure a comprehensive approach to your care. Let’s take the first step together—schedule your session today and start your journey toward feeling better.
During our first session, we’ll begin with brief introductions and then explore the specific challenges you’re experiencing. This will allow me to develop a personalized plan for us to address in future sessions.
With 30 years of healthcare experience, I am equipped to guide you in uncovering the causes of your challenges and craft a personalized plan to help you achieve tangible and lasting progress.
I am best positioned to serve adolescents and young professionals navigating challenges such as academic pressures, career uncertainties, and emotional well-being. I also specialize in working with individuals managing parenting concerns, helping them build stronger relationships with their children, and addressing the complexities of modern parenting. Additionally, I provide support during significant life transitions, guiding clients through changes with resilience and clarity.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
By maintaining a genuine, collaborative approach, I help clients identify their goals and develop personalized strategies to achieve mental wellness.
Supportive
In my PMHNP practice, I use supportive therapy to provide clients with a safe, consistent space to express their concerns and feel heard. I offer encouragement, validation, and practical guidance to help them manage stressors and build coping skills. By focusing on strengthening their existing resources and resilience, I help clients navigate challenges while fostering emotional stability and confidence in their ability to achieve their goals.

Kathryn Balsamo made me feel very comfortable early in our first visit. She was very easy to talk to and went over my basic health information. Within 15 minutes into our session it was as though I was talking with a friend that was giving me some positive encouragement realtive to my particular concerns. She was not coming from a place of judgement or criticism, just listening and trying to get to know me so she can help me with my issues. I am looking forward to our next session.
