Joyce Southers

I am a Psychiatric and Addictions Nurse Practitioner. I have worked in psychiatry for 25 plus years, prescribed medications for 23 years for various conditions. I have also worked with people who struggle with co-occurring psychiatric and substance abuse issues with a 12-Step and Harm reduction focus. I have a conservative prescribing approach to add to skills you acquire in therapy to improve.

I can provide 30 minute medication management sessions monthly to every 3 months depending on your needs and symptoms or we can do more regular 60 minute sessions that include medication management with supportive psychotherapy.

In our first meeting, I’ll do a psychiatric evaluation and make a medication recommendation if deemed necessary. We'll then discuss if you’re in agreement and if we want to work together and how often.
