Getting to know Christopher Wojnar
My prescribing philosophy is that medications are not the only tool in the toolbox for symptom relief. My approach includes empowering you to consider contributing factors to symptoms including lifestyle, stressors, physical health, technology use, relationships, occupation, and much more! We'll work together to integrate skills you can use to make meaningful changes without feeling increased stress.
Christopher Wojnar is a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and ICU nurse with over 10 years of experience in the healthcare field. His journey into mental health care began with a deeply personal and transformative moment. This life-changing event solidified Christopher’s purpose: to help others through compassionate psychiatric care and advocacy.
As an international suicide prevention advocate, Christopher serves as a board member on international suicide prevention organizations. His work includes speaking at conferences, consulting health systems on suicide prevention strategies, partnering with researchers on nurse suicide, and advancing mental health policies to protect healthcare workers and first responders. Christopher’s unique perspective as a clinician, survivor, and advocate allows him to connect with others in meaningful ways, offering hope and practical tools for recovery.
Christopher completed his graduate training at Chamberlain University, specializing in psychiatric mental health. His education and clinical experiences in the Mental Health Emergency Center, Inpatient Adult and Child/Adolescent, Partial Hospitalization, Intensive Outpatient, Outpatient, Substance Use, and clients with Eating Disorders have shaped his holistic, patient-centered approach to care. He believes in empowering his patients by working collaboratively to create individualized treatment plans.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Christopher emphasizes that medications are a valuable tool within a comprehensive, multifaceted, and holistic treatment plan—not a one-size-fits-all solution. He takes the time to educate his patients, helping them understand their treatment options and make informed decisions. His prescribing philosophy reflects his belief that real progress often comes from addressing the root causes of emotional distress and integrating evidence-based therapies.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My process begins with an initial session focused on understanding your unique history, concerns, and goals. This includes a comprehensive diagnostic assessment, where we discuss your mental health, physical health, lifestyle, technology use, and life experiences to develop a clear picture of your needs. Together, we create a personalized treatment plan, which may include medication, therapy referrals, or lifestyle changes. Follow-up sessions are collaborative, monitoring progress, adjusting treatment as needed, and focusing on empowering you with tools and strategies to improve your well-being. While I do not practice talk therapy directly, I work closely with therapists to ensure holistic, coordinated care.
