Dr. Hansen began her medical career in the Army National Guard as a medic. After completing 12 years education, she moved to Alaska to work in integrated care models for the Native American people at Southcentral Foundation. During this time, she served as an adult & adolescent psychiatrist & director for the dual-diagnosis addiction program. She gradually transitioned to the field of tele-psychiatry & assumed the role of Behavioral Health Director for multiple towns in Alaska while concomitantly working in California for LA County. She now practices concierge tele-psychiatry in AK, AZ, CA & FL & is accepting new clients.
Ideally, you are looking for a Board Certified Psychiatrist with an integrated approach to address your mental, physical and spiritual health. This includes psychiatric diagnostic evaluation, therapy and psychopharmacologic management combined with a collaborative approach with your primary care or other specialty providers for medical conditions/treatments.
Note: Dr. Hansen does not prescribe controlled substances via tele visits; consideration for this is limited to in person only & at the discretion of the doctor. Controlled substances include: xanax (alprazolam), ativan (lorazepam), valium (diazepam), klonopin (clonazepam), lunesta (eszopliclone), ambien (zolpidem), ritalin, adderall, vyvanse , concerta,etc.
