Kerisha Prince

Hello! I’m Kerisha Prince, a dedicated and compassionate licensed Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 2 years of experience in providing comprehensive mental health care. With a Master’s degree in Nursing and specialized training in psychiatric-mental health, I am committed to improving the lives of individuals facing mental health challenges.

My patient focus is on individuals facing a range of mental health challenges, from anxiety and depression to more complex conditions. Individuals with Mood Disorders**: Patients suffering from depression, bipolar disorder, or related conditions.

Anxiety Disorders: Those experiencing generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety, or specific phobias.

Personality Disorders: Patients diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, or antisocial personality disorder.

Children and Adolescents: Young patients dealing with behavioral issues, ADHD, or mood disorders.

Trauma Survivors: Individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or those who have experienced significant trauma.

My approach to care is holistic and collaborative, focusing on building a trusting relationship with my patients to support their unique journeys. I prioritize open, empathetic communication to ensure that you feel heard and understood. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, my communication style is empathetic, supportive, and collaborative. I aim to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where patients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings.

In sessions, I prioritize active listening and validation, ensuring that patients know their experiences are heard and respected. The tone is warm and professional, fostering trust and openness.

During our first session, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where we will discuss your concerns, goals, and personal history. Together, we will set achievable goals tailored to your needs, ensuring that you feel empowered in your treatment journey. I use a collaborative approach, focusing on patient-centered care by actively listening to their needs, identifying areas for improvement, and working together to set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals that align with their desired outcomes and recovery journey; while also considering their mental health condition, support system, and potential barriers to achieving those goals.
