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

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I work with psychotherapists to make needed referrals and use evidence-based techniques that will help you overcome your mental health illness. Although I prescribe medication, Medication alone does not fully provide mental health symptom relief, but research has shown that medication and psychotherapy including Mindfulness, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) help you identify and change thinking and behavior patterns that are harmful or ineffective, replacing them with more accurate thoughts and functional behaviors. Interpersonal therapy (IPT) is a short-term form of treatment. It will help you understand underlying interpersonal issues that are troublesome, like unresolved grief, changes in social or work roles, conflicts with significant others, and problems relating to others.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My passion for holistic care enables me to provide the most needed care for patients suffering from Depression, Insomnia, and Anxiety and I feel this to be my area of strength. As a medical Nurse practitioner as well as Mental health Nurse practitioner, I provide care and meet patients suffering from depression and Anxiety on a daily basis. My commitment to partnering with you. Evaluation, diagnosis, medication, and therapy options along with education regarding them are also important to me. Understanding limitations and benefits are very important to successful treatment along with counseling. I will commit myself to improving your ongoing wellness.
