What should a new client know about working with you?

*Please check if your insurance plan is Medicare/Medicaid, as our practice does not see patients with Medicare/Medicaid coverage.* I hold a Master's degree in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Walden University, which equips me to provide specialized and compassionate care tailored to your mental health needs Stimulants Policy Providers at Brighter Light Behavioral Health Clinic PLLC do not prescribe Stimulants such as Adderall, Ritalin, Vyvanse, etc., to treat ADHD. This is consistent with current treatment guidelines and practice recommendations against prolonged use of Stimulants because they worsen anxiety, depression and fatigue. Stimulants also have high abuse potential, the risk for dependence and tolerance, and can be fatal in overdose, especially when combined with alcohol and/or opioid medications.
