Hi! My name is Keyshanna Apple, I’m a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Throughout my career I’ve had the pleasure of helping patients achieve optimal wellness in the critical care and mental health setting. I strive to provide patient centered care to patient’s who are dealing with a variety of mental health challenges. I want to ensure that each patient feels heard and has the access and necessary tools to improve their quality of life.
The initial session will include a thorough evaluation where I will get to know you better and learn about your concerns. We will explore your history which may include any prior diagnosis/ treatments, life style and or medications. We will then work on developing a personalized treatment plan backed by evidence-based practice that will address your specific concerns. This plan may include medication management and or therapy, as well as guided support throughout the process with scheduled follow up visits.
My goal is to help each patient feel supported, empowered, and informed through education and collaboration. My greatest strengths are building a rapport and creating a safe space for each client to address their concerns, which is the foundation to a successful treatment plan. You will be met with empathy and a judgement free space where you can express your needs and feel respected. We will work together to create a plan that will help you to achieve and maximize your wellbeing
I love working with patient's from all walks of life, who are dealing with issues ranging from depression and anxiety to mood disorders.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
Being of a Caribbean background I have a huge respect for culturally competency with an understanding that each patient's unique background helps to shape who they are.
