Great to meet you!

I’m Catherine Donnerstag, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). With several years in nursing and over four years in psychiatry, I provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each person’s needs. I’ve worked in outpatient and inpatient clinics, crisis stabilization units, and telepsychiatry, treating a wide range of mental health conditions.

My approach to therapy

I believe mental health care is a partnership. Together, we’ll create a plan that aligns with your goals and values. Treatment may include medication management, supportive therapy, psychoeducation, and integrative tools like mindfulness or lifestyle changes.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space where they feel heard and supported. My goal is to help you gain clarity, build confidence, and develop tools to manage symptoms so you can improve your quality of life.
