As a psychiatric nurse practitioner with a focus on psychiatry, I believe that it is important to understand the whole person and the context in which they are seeking treatment. During our initial consultation, we will discuss your current concerns and symptoms, as well as your medical and psychiatric history.

    My appointment was scheduled for 8:00 AM. I got a notification at 6:08 AM with the provider inviting me to the appointment I logged in. He wasn’t there. I also returned at the proper time and he wasn’t there so somebody who has waited an awful long timeto trust somebody this was not what I needed at all.
