I have been practicing as a PMHNP for over a year. I have two bachelors degrees in nursing and psychology and a master’s degree in nursing. I mostly care for adult to geriatric population, treating anxiety, depression, mood instability, insomnia, PTSD, and ADHD.
As a PMHNP, my approach to providing care is patient-centered. My goal of care is to listen, understand, explain, collaborate, implement, and reassess a plan of care that’s tailored to each patient.
The first session is an opportunity for the patient to tell their story, symptoms, and feelings, establish a therapeutic relationship, and begin developing possible diagnoses and differentials.
