As a nurse practitioner, most of my clients come to see me primarily for medications. However, I always incorporate some therapy and lifestyle conversations into each visit and I do offer full-length therapy sessions to those who are interested. We will discuss both medications and therapy during your first visit and come up with the plan that feels right for you.
