Josh Wormley
My name is Josh. I am trained as a nurse practitioner in both family medicine and psychiatry, with a decade of experience in clinical practice. My overall goal in practice is to approach care collaboratively and holistically, with a view that mental and physical health are intertwined and each affect the other.

Much of my practice has tended to focus of prescribing medications for mental health concerns. However, I do look for the best approach and believe that taking the least amount of medications is always best. I also believe, and research has shown, the right types of therapy can provide benefits similar to medications when paired with specific mental health issues, like depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
First session
In a first session I like to go through history, discuss what has lead to our meeting, what’s been tried and worked/failed in the past, and how best we can work together to improve whatever the issue is that lead to the meeting.
Strengths
My view on healthcare is that people I care about receive care. I want the provider they see to listen and make the effort, to try and give the best care. This is something I always remember with people I see: they’re somebodies family. I think this is important to consider in a time where we as providers are always being pushed to go faster and spend less time with each person we see.
Ideal clients
I feel that the best care comes from collaborating with clients. When we work together and agree how we can move forward with a plan of care, there’s a much higher likelihood of success.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a great therapy for understanding where our thinking processes diverge from the reality around us. Understanding this divergence and recognizing where it starts or stems from, allows us a place to focus changing thoughts and patterns in our thought processes.
