Getting to know Peter Galiwango
As a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, my approach to care is rooted in compassion, respect, and a deep commitment to supporting each individual’s mental health journey. I believe that every person’s story is unique, and I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered. My training at Regis College and my clinical experience have equipped me with a strong foundation in evidence-based psychiatric care. I am dedicated to working collaboratively with clients to develop personalized treatment plans that address their specific needs and goals. Whether you are seek
As a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, my specialty is in diagnosing, treating, and supporting individuals facing a wide range of mental health challenges. I offer comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy for conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and more.
I understand that reaching out for mental health support can feel overwhelming, and it takes courage to take that first step. Please know that you are not alone—many people face similar challenges, and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. My practice is a safe and welcoming space where your experiences and feelings are respected.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I provide comprehensive, evidence-based care that includes psychiatric evaluation, medication management, supportive psychotherapy, psychoeducation, and collaborative care with other providers. During the initial visit, I conduct a thorough assessment to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to each patient's needs.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our first session focuses on getting a clear understanding of what brings you in. I’ll ask about your current concerns, symptoms, mental health history, medical background, and any past treatments. We’ll also talk about your goals so we can shape a plan that fits your needs.
After the initial evaluation, follow-up visits are more focused and structured. We review how you’ve been feeling, what’s working, and what may need adjustment. If medications are part of your care, we’ll discuss effectiveness, side effects, and any changes in a thoughtful, collaborative way.
I do incorporate supportive and skills-based therapy into sessions. This may include brief talk therapy, coping strategies, and practical tools you can use between visits. Sessions are goal-oriented but flexible, allowing space for concerns that feel most important to you that day.
Throughout treatment, I emphasize clear communication, shared decision-making, and steady progress at a pace that feels manageable.
