Hello, I am Dr. Natalie Hart, a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Commonly, the focus of my interactions with clients is medication management. However, my approach is always holistic, regardless of the reason for the interaction. I believe therapeutic engagement with clients is required for effective treatment. My expertise is psychiatric medication education, with a focus on evidence-based management of major depression and anxiety disorders. I am also experienced in psychopharmacologic management of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. My approach is based in interpersonal theory, which means all interactions with clients are aimed at building therapeutic relationships, which can significantly influence the effectiveness of treatment. My mantra is "knowledge is power." This is particularly relevant as it relates to clarity when making important decisions about your treatment. If you want to develop a clear understanding of your mental health medications and therapies, how they work, and how this affects you, you have found a provider. I look forward to meeting you.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I aim to gather comprehensive information about you and your mental health treatment goals. Treatment is best delivered when the provider knows the client. Your success is my success.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My entire 35-year career has been focused on empowering people to optimize mental strength. My mental health treatment expertise is based in many years of inpatient, partial hospital, and outpatient practice. I have seen a lot. I use my knowledge to deliver the best possible treatment for you as an individual. I am very attentive and focused on meeting your needs. I believe it is important for clients to know "why" treatments are recommended. My background in health education inspires me to learn about my client's needs and desires first. Then I share my knowledge to help you make informed decisions about your mental health treatment.
