Hi, I am an advanced practice Nurse certified in Mental Health. I have been a registered nurse. I evaluated, assessed, interpreted labs, diagnosed, medicated if warranted, prescribed, given therapy, and developed a treatment to assist in stabilizing her mental health. I will assist clients in reviewing their non-pharmaceutical interventions and therapies, helping them be aware of their newfound coping skills and maneuver through the changes that they are struggling with. Psychiactric Evaluation- 300 Medication Follow up visit - 100.00
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In my first session, I will ask why you need a mental health specialist, ask you when your symptoms start, review all of your symptoms, and ask what you tried before your first appointment with me.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe in a holistic approach, review theorists, and let you know what to expect as time progresses. I will start medication when indicated and assess efficacy and side effects. I will start medication and doses that cause the least amount of side effects. I will also take the time to educate you on the types of medications, potential side effects, and potential adverse reactions.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I care for patients diagnosed with ADHD ( request testing by a licensed psychologist), Depression, Anxiety, and Mood Disorders.
