Dorothy Geffken, PMHNP, ANP

Dorothy Geffken, PMHNP, ANP

Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
NJ
In my practice, I use a holistic approach to wellbeing. I help patients who are interested in exploring traditional psychiatric medication alongside alternative and energy medicine. I ask the question: what disrupts your connection with yourself and the world around you? Whether the cause for the disconnect is traumatic events, bouts of depression, persistent anxiety, or the inability to cope, together we will find the issue or block that is troubling you as a whole person. We view wellbeing as a combination of the heart, mind, and body. Our goal is to provide you with the support to empower you to be your best self in all aspects of life. The environment is stigma-free, filled with positive energy to develop a collaborative plan of care. Having graduated as a nurse in 1985, I earned my Master's in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing from Regis College. My career began in surgical intensive care and grew into a nurse executive role. A passion of mine has been enriching the lives of those within my sphere of influence. I bring to our sessions years of life experience and wisdom. This journey is a partnership.
