Sarah Franklin, APRN, RN, NP

Adult Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
IN
I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner focused on treating individuals who often have difficulty finding care elsewhere because they require a higher level of care. I use a patient-centered approach to work as a team to find the most effective care. I believe that the individual seeking care is the expert in their own body and that should be the number one consideration in treatment. I work with those facing disparities in care. I focus on those with eating disorders, emotional dysregulation in autism spectrum disorder, transgender support and affirming mental health care, severe mood disorders, and chronic suicidal ideation. I promote the idea of equity over equality. Patients are encouraged to take the time they need during sessions without being rushed. Having lived experience with struggles with my own mental health, I have seen how difficult it can be to find stability and appropriate care. I wanted to be a safe spot for my patients and give them what took me decades to find. We use principles of harm reduction to slowly eliminate negative coping skills and decrease the risk of perceived failure. The first session is a complete psychiatric assessment, which covers psychiatric history, social history, developmental history, medical history, and a mental health assessment. After this, we discuss diagnosis and develop a treatment plan.
