Services Provided
As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioners, our providers are qualified and licensed to assess, diagnose and treat psychiatric disorders. The first appointment with your NPP is the initial evaluation or consultation. It is to understand the presenting problems or concerns you or your child is having, to obtain the history in regards to these problems, and to gather a medical history. Sometimes it's not easy to articulate the problems one is having, or to understand the problem thoroughly in one visit. It may then be determined that additional appointments are necessary to do so.

TREATMENT APPROACH
WHO WE SEE
-
Children starting at age 5
-
Teenagers/Adolescents

Adults up until age 55
Through a holistic approach to medicine, we view each individual as a whole rather than a single symptom to be treated. We may explore psychosocial interventions (psychotherapy or behavioral interventions), lifestyle changes, or dietary considerations in context with your medical status. If medications are appropriate, NPPs are experts in medication and medication management and will work closely with you in discussing potential medication strategies. Routine and diagnostic lab work may also be recommended as appropriate.
