Kathryn Bouchard

I am a dual board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) providing thoughtful, evidence-based medication management for adults. My goal is to help patients feel more stable, clear, and confident in their treatment.

I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma-related conditions, and other mood or psychiatric concerns — including those who have tried multiple medications or are navigating more complex symptom patterns. I also work with individuals who have not found relief with prior medication trials and are seeking a more comprehensive reassessment.

I take a careful and collaborative approach, ensuring that treatment decisions are grounded in a thorough understanding of your history, current symptoms, and long-term goals.

While supportive therapy may be incorporated into visits as needed, my practice is primarily centered on diagnostic clarity and intentional medication management. Appointments are structured to monitor progress and make careful, informed adjustments over time.

I strive to create a space where patients feel heard, informed, and actively involved in their care.

Our work begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your symptoms, prior treatment history, medication responses, side effects, medical considerations, and personal goals. Together, we develop an individualized plan focused on effectiveness, tolerability, and long-term stability.

An essential part of quality psychiatric care is ongoing reassessment. This may include adjusting doses, refining medication selection, simplifying regimens, or thoughtfully tapering medications that are no longer beneficial. Deprescribing, when appropriate, is done gradually and with close follow-up to support safety and stability.
