Steven Reedy

My name is Steven Reedy. As a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I bring ideals from both the medical and nursing models of care in a holistic approach. In doing so, this allows me to care for you with compassion, as a whole person, and with the latest evidence-based practices. My journey to mental healthcare My background as a nurse was eight years of acute care. I was an Emergency Department and ICU nurse for almost a decade before I switched my focus to Mental Health. I observed firsthand the deficit in mental health care and prevention and wanted to devote my career to recognition, advocating prevention, and resources for patients with mental health needs.

I use the latest evidence-based practice in my approach, along with modalities that include cognitive behavioral therapy, therapeutic communication, and motivational interviewing. I practice active listening and solution-based interventions. My focus I work with patients of all ages experiencing mood and thought disorders. I treat ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Insomnia, Autism, Personality Disorders, and Dementia.When it comes to goal setting with patients, I follow a structured and collaborative approach to ensure your goals are meaningful and achievable. These include understanding needs and priorities, collaborative planning, regular check-ins, flexibility, and encouragement/support. I strive to create a supportive, respectful, and empathetic environment for my patients. When working with me, you can expect confidentiality, active listening, Empathy and Compassion, Guidance, and a Non-Judgmental space.

The first session is primarily about understanding your needs and establishing a foundation for our work together. We will build rapport, discuss concerns and goals, obtain background information, assess your symptoms, set expectations, make a plan, and answer questions.
