Kathryn Pap

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 20 years of nursing experience caring for individuals across a variety of healthcare settings. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing specializing in psychiatric mental health and am passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based care that focuses on the whole person rather than just a diagnosis.

I work with adolescents and adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, PTSD, bipolar disorder, mood disorders, insomnia, and other mental health concerns. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, ADHD evaluations, and ongoing treatment tailored to each individual's goals. When appropriate, I also utilize objective computerized assessment tools to support the evaluation of ADHD, executive functioning, and cognitive concerns.

My approach is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and centered on building a trusting relationship. I believe every person deserves to feel heard, understood, and involved in their treatment decisions. Whether you're seeking help for the first time or have struggled to find the right treatment in the past, my goal is to help you better understand your symptoms, develop an effective treatment plan, and regain hope and confidence in your daily life.

I work with individuals experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, mood disorders, and other mental health concerns. Many of my patients have come to me after feeling stuck; having tried and failed multiple medications or providers with no actual improvement. Others simply want someone to actually listen for once. My goal is to understand you and your history; not whatever diagnosis you have been given in the past. To look beyond that, identify the problem, and find an actual solution to help you regain hope, improve daily functioning, and move toward a happier and fulfilling life.

Your first appointment is all about getting to know you. We'll discuss your current concerns, symptoms, medical and mental health history, and what you're hoping to achieve through treatment. I'll take the time to listen, answer your questions, and make sure you feel heard. Together, we'll review diagnostic impressions, discuss treatment options, and develop a personalized plan so you leave with a clear understanding of your next steps and confidence in the path forward.
