“I had a very positive experience while working with both Kate & her practice. Staff contacted me the same day I made my appointment and were so patient when I had to make various changes to my appointment & again when trying to verify my insurance. They walked me through every step of the process including patient intake, payment, & setting up the communication channel for follow-ups with my provider.
Kate, herself, was incredibly empathetic & gave me the time & space to process all the information. She asked all the right questions to better understand my situation and validated my experiences. She was able to explain things that I haven’t
been able to make sense of for years. She made sure I was comfortable, informed, & involved when coming up with a treatment plan. Overall, I felt heard & supported throughout the entire session & would highly recommend Kate & her practice.”

“I had the pleasure of having an initial consultation with Katherine Cruze for psychiatric counseling, and I was truly impressed by the experience. She was phenomenal—an exceptional listener who made me feel heard, understood, and genuinely cared for from the very beginning.
Katherine is compassionate, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. She communicated clearly, took the time to understand my concerns, and created a comfortable and welcoming environment where I felt safe sharing my thoughts. Her professionalism, empathy, and depth of knowledge were immediately evident.
I am very grateful for the time and care she provided during my consultation. I would highly recommend Katherine Cruze to anyone looking for a caring, compassionate, and highly knowledgeable mental health professional. She made an excellent first impression, and I left the appointment feeling heard, respected, and hopeful.”

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.

I finally found someone who truly understood what I was going through and explained it to me with clarity and compassion. She gave me the help I needed and the tools to improve, allowing me to move forward with confidence toward a full and stable life. I highly recommend her for her expertise in accurately diagnosing and distinguishing between symptoms. She has extensive experience, genuine empathy, and a true passion for her profession.

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!
