Getting to know Alicia Budhna
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and I work with both children and adults. I help patients manage concerns like anxiety, depression, mood changes, trauma, and everyday stress.
My approach is straightforward and collaborative. I take the time to listen, understand what’s going on, and create a plan that fits your needs. This may include medication management, supportive therapy, and practical strategies you can use in your daily life.
I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and understood. My goal is to help you feel more stable, confident, and in control of your mental health.
If you are using insurance, the cost of services will be determined by your insurance plan based on your specific benefits, copay, coinsurance, or deductible.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When you start care with me, you can expect a straightforward and supportive experience. I take time to listen, ask the right questions, and understand your concerns before making any recommendations.
My approach is collaborative. We’ll work together to create a plan that makes sense for you, whether that includes medication management, brief therapy, or both. I also focus on practical strategies you can use day to day, not just what happens during the visit.
I work with both children and adults, so I adjust my approach based on age, needs, and comfort level. My goal is for you to feel heard, respected, and clear on next steps after each visit.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My process starts with a thorough initial evaluation where we go over your symptoms, history, current concerns, and goals for treatment. I take the time to understand the full picture before making any recommendations.
After that, we work together on a treatment plan. I provide medication management when appropriate and also incorporate brief, supportive therapy during visits. I focus on helping you understand what you’re experiencing and giving you practical tools you can use between sessions.
Follow-up visits are more focused on checking progress, adjusting medications if needed, and addressing anything new that comes up. My goal is to keep things clear, efficient, and helpful so you leave each session knowing exactly what the plan is moving forward.
