NOW ACCEPTING new virtual patients with same-week appointments. The thought of being all alone in a negative cycle that may be a result of anxiety, trauma, depression, unhealthy coping skills, and/or environmental stressors can be daunting. The treatment for most mental illnesses is effective therapy. However, some need a little more than therapy. How would you know if you could benefit from medications? If you have been suffering for a long time in a limited and/or negative cycle, most likely your brain will need some help; the right psychotropic medication will help improve your symptoms.
We pride ourselves on providing empathetic, culturally competent care that is patient-focused and solution-based. Our primary Psych NP has medication management experiences that have been well rounded through clinical and personal exposure; an exemplary Masters' level education. She actively seeks to learn more about the mental health field!
To ensure we provide you with optimal care, we plan to work cooperatively with other members of your healthcare team at your discretion. Your symptoms are real, but you are not your diagnosis; there is empowerment and freedom in treatment. CALL/EMAIL TODAY! we can begin the healing process and navigate life together plus... WE ACCEPT MOST MAJOR INSURANCES!
