“Honestly was super nervous going into this appointment, but right away from the first conversation I knew it was going to be good, Kate spent an amazing time being a good listener and taking the time to educate me and help me understand what I was going in to, not only did I leave with the treatment I needed but I also learned a few things!”

Getting to know Katherine Cruze

Psychiatric nurse practitioner Kate wasn't diagnosed with ADHD till age 45 - now it's her mission in life to help get people diagnosed earlier! She specializes in treating ADHD but also treats all other mental health conditions, from ages 5 to 105.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Kate has been described as sweet, kind, down-to-earth, and extremely patient and understanding. Her goal is to have everyone who comes to see her leave their visits feeling a little lighter and a little brighter. She treats a lot of ADHD patients, and unfortunately there still can be stigma and shame for patients with this diagnosis - but not with Kate! She treats all visits in a manner that is friendly, thorough, and nonjudgemental.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Kate meets with patients either via telehealth or in-person - whatever is easiest for you! New patient appointments typically take 60 to 90 minutes and follow-ups take about 20 to 30 minutes. If starting on ADHD medications like stimulants, Kate will see patients a month after starting a new medication to re-assess how well it works, but once we're established on a good medication regimen, visits are only required every three months.
