PMHNP, 20 years of experience
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.
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.
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.
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.

Emma makes you feel like you’re genuinely cared for. She’s warm, relatable, and always ready to problem solve. She has helped me through my ADHD journey with finding the correct medications at a time when I was really struggling. She’s made the process easier and addresses my concerns. Emma truly has been a great fit.

I saw Emma for a while at her previous job and I was so upset that she left! I just happened to google her to see where she went and immediately scheduled an appointment! She is fabulous and you are lucky to have her! I am so glad I found her again!

Wow. My first appointment was so refreshing. Someone that listened, validated, and came up with solutions. If I could clone Emma and disperse her all over the world I would. I am looking forward to my follow up because I feel heard and supported.
I have 20 years of experience assessing, diagnosing and treating child, adolescent and adult mental health symptoms such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder and substance abuse. 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.
