Our Treatment Focus
Your first visit consists of a mental health assessment known as a psychiatric evaluation. In psychiatry, this is similar to an annual physical assessment, with a focus on changes in your mood, thinking and behaviors. Additionally, your personal and family medical/psychiatric history, past symptoms, current & past medications are obtained. We will explore how mental health is affected by nutrition, stress, fatigue, trauma, physical health, pregnancy or postpartum anxiety and depression. As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I combine evidenced based practice recommendations, sound clinical judgement & my patient’s preferences/priorities.
