“Stephanie has been such a great provider for me thus far and I look forward to continue working with her! I have had a really difficult time getting seen over the past 3 years with a known diagnosis, and Stephanie wasted no time discussing what medication would work best for me based on my current needs. I cannot thank her or recommend her enough!”

Getting to know Stephanie Patrick-Calvillo
Hello, I'm Stephanie Patrick-Calvillo, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I work as a Nurse Practitioner at Mental Health Practitioners, where I provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care through comprehensive psychiatric assessment, medication management, and collaborative treatment planning.
With 18 years of healthcare experience, I have served diverse patient populations in inpatient psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment facilities, and outpatient clinics. I earned my PMHNP certification from Maryville University, my Master of Science in Nursing from Chamberlain University, and my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (with honors) from Eastern New Mexico University. I am certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
My clinical expertise encompasses serious mental illness, mood and anxiety disorders, eating disorders, substance use disorders, personality disorders, psychotic disorders, and geriatric mental health conditions including Alzheimer's and dementia. I have completed specialized certification training in management, personality disorders, and geriatric mental health.
My approach to patient care is rooted in empathy, respect, and partnership. I believe effective treatment begins with listening to each patient's story and developing a treatment plan that aligns with their values and goals. I provide thorough diagnostic interviews, medication management, and ongoing follow-up care while educating patients about diagnoses and treatment options.
I have extensive experience with individuals who have experienced trauma, those navigating life transitions, and patients with co-occurring conditions. I am committed to culturally competent care.
Whether you are seeking help for the first time or need ongoing medication management, I am here to support your mental health journey in a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and empowered.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Please note: I do not accept EAP programs.
As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide medication management grounded in evidence-based practice and a genuine partnership with every patient. My approach rests on a simple but important belief: every diagnosis belongs to a person with a unique story, experiences, and goals, and that story should guide your care.
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation. I'll take time to understand your current symptoms, including when they started, how severe they are, what makes them better or worse, and how they affect your daily life. We'll review your psychiatric history, including previous treatments and how well they worked for you, along with your medical history, current medications, family mental health history, and what's happening in your life right now. I also use standardized rating scales to track your symptoms in a consistent, objective way over time. The more fully I understand your situation from the start, the more precisely I can build a treatment plan tailored to you.
Education is central to how I practice. As we explore medication options together, I'll walk you through how each one works, what the research supports, realistic timeframes for improvement, possible side effects to look out for, and what follow-up care will involve. I want you to feel confident in every decision.
I favor well-established, first-line treatments, begin at appropriate doses, and carefully monitor your response before making adjustments. I'm cautious about adding medications and do so only when there's a clear clinical reason. I also regularly reassess each prescription to confirm it still serves a purpose in your plan.
Between appointments, I'm available for questions, and I encourage you to reach out early, since prompt communication leads to better care. You deserve knowledgeable, compassionate support that honors your journey and helps you move toward meaningful recovery and lasting well-being.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Please note that I do not accept EAP benefits. At our first visit, I make space for you to share what's really going on, not just your symptoms but how life has felt lately. I'll ask about the difficulties you're experiencing, how long they've been around, how severe they feel, and how they're affecting your work, relationships, self-care, and the things you enjoy. We'll also review your medical history, past psychiatric treatment, current medications and supplements, alcohol or substance use, and family mental health history.
My diagnostic process is thoughtful and collaborative. Mental health conditions frequently overlap and can look different in each person, so I don't rush to conclusions. Instead, I take time to understand the whole picture, share my impressions with you, and explain my reasoning.
If medication seems like a good fit, I'll explain how specific options target your symptoms, what the research shows, how long it typically takes to notice improvement, and which side effects are possible. We'll weigh your preferences, your daily routine, your past experiences with medication, and any reservations you have about starting treatment, so the decision is one we make together.
Effective medication management depends on regular follow-up and open communication. In the beginning, we'll meet every few weeks so I can track your response, adjust your dose when needed, and address any concerns. As your symptoms improve and your medication becomes stable, visits typically become monthly. At each appointment, I'll ask about changes in your symptoms, any side effects, how consistently you're able to take your medication, and how you're doing overall.
I genuinely care about your well-being. My role goes beyond prescribing; I'm dedicated to helping you feel like yourself again, manage your health well over time, and build a fulfilling life. Throughout, I want you to feel informed, respected, and like a true partner in your care.
