Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Dr. Kristen Nygren. I am a board certified psychiatrist with over 25 years of clinical experience. My goal is to help you stabilize and improve mental health issues that have prevented you from living your best life.

My areas of expertise include: anxiety (including panic, generalized anxiety, social anxiety and OCD), depression, mood disorders including bipolar II and bipolar spectrum, PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder), sleep disturbances/insomnia, and psychopharmacology.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative and patient-centered. I work with each patient to understand their needs and then tailor medication strategies that are both effective and comfortable. My goal is to ensure treatment feels individualized, practical, and supportive of overall well-being.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a clear understanding of their diagnosis, practical guidance on treatment options, and a collaborative plan that is tailored to their needs. My goal is for patients to leave sessions feeling informed, supported, and confident about the next steps in their care.
