Getting to know Dr. Kristen Nygren

I am a board-certified psychiatrist with 30 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based care. I specialize in treating anxiety (including panic, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and OCD), depression, mood disorders such as bipolar II and bipolar spectrum, PMDD, sleep disturbances/insomnia, ADHD, and psychopharmacology. My approach is collaborative. I work closely with patients to develop personalized treatment plans that align with their goals and values. My experience spans private practice, outpatient clinics, and hospital settings. I also have extensive experience with telepsychiatry, making care more accessible and convenient for my patients. I am committed to providing a safe, supportive space where individuals can explore their challenges and build resilience. I look forward to working with you on your path to mental wellness.

My focus is on evidence-based treatment, integrating medication management with therapeutic strategies to help you achieve meaningful progress. I take the time to understand your concerns, working with you to develop a treatment plan that aligns with your goals and lifestyle. My approach is patient-centered and adaptable—whether you're seeking short-term support or long-term care, we will move at a pace that feels right for you. I also value coordination with other providers to ensure comprehensive care.
