What Do Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners (NPs) Do? How Can They Help?

If you’re not familiar with what it is that psychiatric NPs do, it might be difficult to understand how they can help you. For starters, our psychiatric NPs use their unique skill set to: 

  • Prescribe clients helpful medication in conjunction with therapy sessions 
  • Help with managing eating disorders
  • Help clients manage mood or behavioral disorders that are disruptive and detrimental to their quality of life
  • Treat clients as they recover from drug or alcohol addiction

Not everyone will benefit from connecting with a psychiatric NP, but for those who do, your treatment plan will vary depending on your mental health needs. Mental health conditions and disorders manifest differently for everyone, but some of the issues that our psychiatric NPs commonly assist in treating include: 

  • Emotional regulation for those who struggle with controlling anger or grief 
  • Behavioral disorders, such as ADHD 
  • Anxiety disorders, like OCD or PTSD 
  • Emotional disorders, including major depression 

It’s important never to try to diagnose yourself with a disorder or mental health condition. Instead, connecting with one of our psychiatric NPs is a great way to get professional insight from a medical doctor and licensed therapist.

The Benefits of Online Psychiatry

Our modern lifestyles are hectic; it’s no wonder that virtual sessions at Thriveworks have become so popular. Online psychiatry is a great way for people who are interested in:  

  • Reducing the anxiety some people feel about seeking mental health services. When you’re able to talk from the location of your choice, it can be easier to discuss concepts or situations related to your mental health needs
  • Prioritizing their mental health, especially for those with busy work or travel schedules. Parents or those taking care of elderly relatives can have the opportunity to take care of themselves, too.
  • Skipping the commute to a brick-and-mortar location. As long as you have reliable internet and a private area to talk with your NP, you’re set to attend your session from home, the office, or wherever you prefer.

Online psychiatry is just another way that Thriveworks puts you first. We’re also committed to making sure that your virtual experience is safe—our online psychiatry sessions adhere to guidelines from both the APA and HIPAA. There’s no need to worry about your privacy being compromised, so you can focus on getting the most out of your session. 

Schedule a Psychiatry Session with Thriveworks in Fredericksburg, VA

When you decide to reach out to our Fredericksburg office, you’ll be assisted by our team of scheduling specialists, who can assist you with each step.

Ann is a great listener, but she is also helpful with strategies for coping and communicating. She does more than "validate feelings."

I had the best luck with finding Krista! She helped me through so much. The doctors were quick to put me on several medications which made me feel worse with my anxiety and depression. So she helped me find different natural ways of coping. She had the best advice, it was honestly kind of a sad day when I realized I didn’t need her anymore. But I know who I’m going back to if I ever need someone to talk to again! Krista if you see this please know you helped save my life! Thank you!

I just want to say that since beginning counseling at Thriveworks that it has been the best choice I could have made for myself. I know everyone goes into counseling with their own ideas of what to expect from their counselors. But Thriveworks Fredericksburg has the most comfortable atmosphere, my counselor is Amazing, and the staff is professional every time I call to schedule my recurring appts! If you need help Thriveworks Fredericksburg is the place to call! All I can say is kudos to Aimee K! Thank you!!

Happy with everything except the 48 hr cancellation policy. 24hrs is pretty standard and more feasible when you have children.

I’m very relieved to have finally started therapy sessions with Robert. It’s taken me a while to make this move towards dealing with some outstanding hurts. I’m certain I’ve come to the right place.
