Hello I am Kelvin. I have been a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) for over three years. I began working in mental health ten years ago providing inpatient psychiatric care starting at the University of Texas Health Harris County Psychiatric Center before joining Houston Behavioral Health care Hospital. As a PMHNP I also started in an inpatient provider. I also provided care in a clinic and outpatient basis. I have lots of experience in treating patients with a variety of mental health conditions at varying levels of acuity. While my focus is medication management, I believe that medications assist the client in gaining control of their situation. The client has an additional role of doing what is in their power along with the medication, to achieve optimal results.

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

Client will walk away with a sense of being heard and understood. The exchange of information is essential for establishing and maintaining an effective treatment plan. My approach is non judgement and encourages an open exchange of information. Mental health is a subjective experience and is very unique to each individual. Support and understanding are the keys to successful outcomes.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

My focus is pharmacological management with supportive therapy. I utilize evidence based interventions as supported by the most recent findings and recommendations.

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

I have over ten years of experience working in mental health. My nursing background was inpatient psychiatric nursing prior to becoming a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I have treated patients at the highest levels of acuity and have worked with individuals across the spectrum of mental health.
