As a woman of color and mother to a special needs child, I understand the unique challenges of navigating between the various roles that come with this background.
My name is Kaydean and I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I work with ages 12 and up. I have been treating depression and anxiety since 2019, while working as a family nurse practitioner. I changed specialties when I became aware of the shortage in mental health and I wanted to help bridge that gap in client care. I typically work with adults who face high levels of stress. These adults sometimes have trauma or an underlying mood disorder and seek my help to maintain function and productivity in their daily lives.
I address these concerns through medication management and psychotherapy. I'm conservative in my treatment plans and will rule out underlying medical issues.
After all that you have been through, it makes sense that you are stressed and feeling like you have no more bandwidth left. Let's explore these feelings together.
I believe every person’s mental health journey is unique, and I strive to meet clients with compassion, understanding, and respect...

Psychiatry allows people struggling to manage mental conditions or disorders to get access to medications that will make daily functioning easier, as well as work through any mental factors that might be causing or worsening their condition. Though medications can’t cure mental disorders, medication can make symptoms more manageable, making the process of psychotherapeutic treatment easier and more effective. Psychiatric care can be available through in-person psychiatry and online psychiatry, depending on where you live and your own preferences. However, psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in West Palm Beach, FL specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.
A therapist has an education specifically rooted in therapeutic practice, approaches, techniques, and treatment.

A psychiatrist is a medical professional who has specialized in the field of psychiatry. In medical school, psychiatrists study the regions of the brain that control our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, as well as the connections between neurochemistry and these actions. This allows them to help determine the biological factors that contribute to mental disorders and properly diagnose them.
Now that you have a better understanding of what a psychiatrist is, let’s look at some of the common mental disorders they can treat:
Due to the broad spectrum of mental illnesses that can be treated with psychiatry, there are many reasons why you may want to seek psychiatric care. Every individual will likely have a different reason; however, here are some factors you might want to take into consideration:
A psychiatric provider will be able to conduct both laboratory and psychological testing to help discern the cause of your symptoms and provide a professional assessment of your mental state.
When you begin the discussion of using medication for your symptoms, you will need to inform your psychiatric provider of any current medications you are taking, as well as any allergies you may have to medications or ingredients. You should also provide them with your medical history before starting any new medications.
After choosing a medication, your psychiatric provider will provide you with instructions on how to properly take your medication, as well as inform you of any potential side effects.
If your medication is not yielding the desired results, tell your psychiatric provider. They will be happy to prescribe a different medication, one that is a better fit for you.
