Are you a psychiatrist or MD?
I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC). My
professional role is similar of a psychiatrist. I am qualified to prescribe medication,
including controlled substances. I have additional training in integrative psychiatry and nutrition, hormone imbalances, perimenopause, menopause, transgender affirming care.
Evidence based medication and alternative therapies may be combined. I do not
provide therapy services but do believe the best outcomes for a successful mental
health journey is to incorporate ongoing therapy.
