My name is Emma Engel. I received my Master's degree as an Adult Psychiatric-Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist/ Advanced Practice Registered Nurse in 2003 from the University of Hawaii. I have 20 years of experience working in various settings, treating persons suffering from mental health symptoms. I have specialized post graduate training in diagnosing and treating Autism, ADHD and other mental health concerns in a pediatric population.

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

In our first session together (45-60minutes) I gather information from the patient and/or parents or guardians. I like to start with early childhood information, experiences and trauma. Then assess current symptoms and concerns. Together, the patient, family and I work to come up with the best possible treatment, including counseling, medications, integrative techniques etc., in order to improve symptoms and thus improve quality of life.

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

I have 20 years of experience and education. I have worked with all ages in all situations. I stay abreast of new medications and treatment modalities.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents and young adults suffering with mental health symptoms. I also working with patients suffering from substance use disorders. I have diagnosed and treated patients as young as 3 years of age.

For cash payment, I charge $150 for the initial assessment, which lasts 45 to 60 minutes and $75 for the 25 to 30 minute follow up appointments.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is helpful for symptoms of anxiety and depression, by using coping skills on a day to day basis.
