Getting to know Stephanie Patrick-Calvillo
I'm Stephanie Patrick-Calvillo, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 15 years of healthcare experience specializing in mental health treatment across diverse settings. Based in the Central Valley of California, I provide comprehensive, compassionate psychiatric care to individuals facing mental health challenges.
I earned my PMHNP certification from Maryville University in 2019, building upon my Master's degree in Executive Healthcare and Bachelor's in Nursing. My career began in emergency and correctional nursing, where I developed expertise in acute psychiatric crises and treating individuals with serious mental illness.
Currently, I work as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, providing comprehensive mental health services to adults. My practice includes diagnostic assessments, medication management, and ongoing psychiatric care for patients with serious mental illness, including those returning from state hospitalizations, mental health diversion programs, and competency restoration programs.
My clinical expertise spans mood disorders, depression, anxiety, psychotic disorders, eating disorders, substance use disorders, personality disorders, and geriatric mental health. I've recently completed advanced certifications in personality disorders, and geriatric psychiatry to stay current with the latest treatment developments.
My approach emphasizes patient-centered care, thorough diagnostic assessment, collaborative treatment planning, and careful medication management. I take time to understand each patient's unique circumstances and goals, coordinating with other providers to ensure comprehensive support.
Whether you're seeking help with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or other mental health concerns, I'm here to provide expert, compassionate care tailored to your individual needs.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Please note: EAP benefits are not accepted.
As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in medication management, I build my practice on trust, mutual respect, and open communication at every stage of care. Reaching out for psychiatric help takes courage, and many of my patients have felt overlooked, brushed off, or hurried through appointments elsewhere. With me, you can expect a warm, supportive environment where your concerns are heard, your experiences are validated, and your preferences genuinely guide your treatment plan.
My approach to prescribing is thoughtful and holistic. I carefully consider your full health picture, including any medical conditions, current medications and supplements, lifestyle, daily routines, and personal goals for treatment. I aim to minimize the number of medications you take and the side effects you experience, while still pursuing the best possible outcomes for your mental health and overall quality of life.
Our visits include plenty of time to review how you're doing, answer all your questions, and make decisions together at a pace that feels right for you. I believe in collaborative treatment planning. I'll provide expert guidance and evidence-based recommendations, but you always have the final say in your care.
Regular follow-up is a cornerstone of how I practice. I monitor your response to treatment closely so we can recognize improvements, celebrate your progress, and change anything that isn't helping. Whether you're trying psychiatric medication for the first time or looking for better management of a long-standing condition, I'll meet you where you are with compassion, understanding, and clinical skills. I'm also available between appointments, so you won't be left on your own when questions or concerns arise.
I see myself not just as your prescriber but as a committed partner in your mental health journey, providing steady support and genuine care along the way.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Please note that I do not accept EAP programs.
Your initial appointment usually lasts 60 to 90 minutes. During this visit, I complete a full psychiatric evaluation that reviews your medical and mental health history, current symptoms, past and present medications, family history, and social background. We’ll also talk about your sleep, appetite, energy, mood, relationships, daily functioning, and important life events. It’s okay if you don’t remember every detail. This complete picture helps me reach an accurate diagnosis and create a treatment plan that fits your specific needs.
I review any relevant lab results and, with your permission, communicate with your other providers. I may also order further testing to rule out medical conditions that could be affecting your symptoms, since physical and mental health are closely linked.
My practice centers on medication management, combined with supportive counseling, education about your condition, and practical behavioral tools. Whenever we consider medication, I’ll explain how it works, what benefits to expect, which side effects to watch for, and how long improvement may take, so you can make well-informed choices. Nothing moves forward without your agreement. If you’d benefit from ongoing talk therapy, I’ll recommend working with a therapist as well, because a coordinated team approach tends to produce stronger, longer-lasting results.
Follow-up visits usually last 20 to 30 minutes. We’ll use this time to evaluate how you’re responding to treatment, review any side effects, and adjust your plan when clinically appropriate.
Between appointments, you can reach me with urgent concerns, since difficulties don’t always arise on schedule. If you’re ever in crisis, call or text 988, or call 911. My aim is to help you function better day to day and reach lasting wellness through compassionate, evidence-based care. Throughout our work, I want you to feel like an active partner in your treatment, supported and understood.
