PMHNP, 5 years of experience
Don't let your mental illness become your identity and define who you are. My name is Yichao Zhang, and I'm a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I'm currently accepting new clients who are looking for medication management for depression, bipolar depression, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, OCD, ADHD and schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder. I'm using the evidence-based practice to ensure treatment safety and effectiveness with a goal of achieving the optimal outcome
I'll listen to your chief complains/struggle/barriers, obtain a full psychiatric, medical and family history as well as social and personal history, and formulate a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs and diagnosis
As a psychiatric provider, I'm person-centered, culturally-informed, and with a holistic approach to all my clients that translates to superior mental health outcomes.
I'm serving my clients in assisting in conceptualizing stress including the role of cognitive appraisals, personal and interpersonal skills and helping them in making connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and development of more realistic and healthy cognitive messages
Psychotherapy was provided including basic CBT, solution focused, and supportive/psychoeducational skills including cognitive restructuring and reframing to enhance development of adaptive coping skills for improved symptom management.
