Who Can Psychiatric NPs Help?

Psychiatric nurse practitioners (NPs) specialize in diagnosing and treating psychiatric disorders. In other words, these professionals focus on helping people manage their mental illnesses. There are many reasons one might seek help from a psychiatric NP  such as:

  • Panic attacks
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Night terrors
  • Suffering postpartum
  • Suicidal thoughts

In a nutshell, people might reach out to a psychiatric NP if they begin experiencing symptoms of a mental illness. Some common illnesses that can be remedied with medication include major and minor depression, generalized anxiety, panic attack disorder, and postpartum depression/anxiety.

I would like to sing the praises of Andrea Stephen and give her a big shout-out for a job well done!!! I have had the pleasure of studying with her in multiple classes, as a fellow student in the counseling program. Later on, we serendipitously worked alongside each other in the field. Andrea is a genuine listener, faithful encourager, and a beacon of hope. She is a counselor who truly cares about her clients and wants to see them thrive.

I've had the pleasure of working with Tammy Boone for about 5 months now and it has been a wonderful journey. She has challenged me to do the work and express myself in ways I never thought was possible. She provides ways to cope with difficult situations without being judgmental. I couldn't have asked for a better clinician!

Close out review with Dr. Patricia Jones. Outstanding service and was extremely helpful in giving me several techniques that I can use. Having video sessions was very convenient and effective. Highly recommend Dr. Jones just for her listening skills and the ability to relate to what you are going through. Very passionate about her job and you will not be disappointed when selecting her as your counselor!
