Hi there đź‘‹ My name is Prab, and I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner! I specialize in treating a variety of conditions including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, ADHD, and sleep disorders, among others. Before transitioning to mental health, I practiced in primary care, with an emphasis in holistic and functional medicine. This background empowers me to integrate a comprehensive view of health and wellness into my practice to support you in achieving both mental and overall well-being.
During our first meeting, we will exchange brief introductions and then focus on understanding your symptoms or concerns that lead you to seek mental health care & your overall desired goals. After completing a comprehensive assessment, I will provide you with a personalized treatment plan that factors in your individuality, symptoms, and desired outcomes. Of note, my focus is on providing care through a patient-centered approach. I don’t set your goals or determine your desired outcomes; instead, we plan them together. You can expect a collaborative environment where your voice is heard and your aspirations are at the forefront of our work.
I use a culturally sensitive evidenced based approach in prescribing medications, complimented by supportive therapy. In our sessions, you will find me to be open-minded and non-judgmental, eager to learn about and understand the diverse experiences that have shaped your life in order to provide the highest quality of personalized care.
I find my approach to mental health care resonates most with individuals who possess an enthusiasm for self-improvement and the willingness to take the necessary steps in order to do so.
By utilizing the principles of empathy, validation, and non-judgmental support, I provide emotional support, encouragement, and validation to empower my patients in managing their stressful situations and symptoms.
Through the power of empathy, autonomy support, and collaboration, I focus on understanding and supporting the patient perspective, fostering a non-judgmental and empathetic environment. This involves active and reflective listening, recognition of discrepancy, and believing in the strength of the human spirit to enact impactful change.
I strive to provide culturally sensitive care by factoring in the importance of cultural and identity issues in shaping an individual's mental health and how one perceives and approaches counseling.
