What is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner?

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners are advanced practice nurse practitioners trained to care for your mental health needs. You can think of them as the nurse practitioner-version of a psychiatrist. Their scope of practice is similar to that of a psychiatrist – they can assess, diagnose, prescribe psychiatric medications, and treat patients’ mental health conditions while maintaining a safe, collaborative and confidential environment. Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners work with you to evaluate your symptoms and needs, partner with you to develop a treatment care plan, and evaluate your ongoing needs and treatment effectiveness.

What does Kaleigh say about her services?

“I believe in listening to my patients’ experiences, meeting them where they are, and supporting them to meet their own goals. Though I can prescribe mental health medications and do so when appropriate, I do not believe medication is the only solution. Since I am both a (medical) Nurse Practitioner and a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with an integrative medicine background, I can also help you develop a more holistic mental wellness plan based on what you feel comfortable with.”

Services I offer include:

  • Treatment of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, sleep issues, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, stress management, bipolar, etc.
  • Prescription medications for mental health, including prescribing and managing psychiatric medications for the conditions above

  • Monitoring vitamin and nutrient levels
  • Support of your body’s own ability to synthesize and balance natural neurotransmitters
