Isabella Waszkiewicz
I have worked in the medical field for more than 25 years, progressing through a variety of clinical and support roles, including Behavioral Health Technician, Unit Secretary, Patient Care Technician, Licensed Practical Nurse, and Registered Nurse for over 17 years.
For the past five years, I have practiced as a Nurse Practitioner and am dual-certified in Family Medicine and Psychiatry.
For the past five years, I have practiced as a Nurse Practitioner and am dual-certified in Family Medicine and Psychiatry. My diverse background allows me to integrate knowledge from both disciplines to provide comprehensive, well-informed, and patient-centered care.
First session
For the initial appointment, I conduct a comprehensive intake assessment. This includes a detailed discussion of the presenting concerns, prior experiences with treatment, past and current medications, and relevant medical and surgical history. I also review family history, social history, and any other factors that may influence the patient’s overall well-being. The first appointment typically lasts between 45 and 60 minutes to ensure a thorough and individualized evaluation.
Strengths
I believe my compassion, understanding, and nonjudgmental approach allow me to connect with patients on a meaningful level. This helps create a safe and comfortable environment in which they feel at ease sharing their concerns openly.
Ideal clients
I am experienced in medication management across the lifespan, though I have developed a robust rapport with children and adolescents. As a parent of teenagers myself, I feel I have a deeper understanding of their unique challenges and perspectives, which enhances my ability to connect with younger patients. I welcome and provide care to individuals of all ages, genders, religions, races, and ethnicities.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been using CBT with other types of therapy techniques to help my patients change their negative thoughts and behaviors.
