Are you a psychiatrist?
I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner! My role is similar to that of a psychiatrist. Like psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners can prescribe medication, provide therapy and coaching, conduct evaluations, and more. To be clear, just as a psychiatrist for ADHD may prescribe controlled substances, so can I.
How are you different from a psychiatrist?
In many ways my role very similar to that of a psychiatrist. Psychiatric nurse practitioners are nurses first, that then go on to receive additional education and training . As nurses, our approach to care tends to be more holistic. We have the bedside experience that helps us connect with patients as people!
Are you board-certified in psychiatry?
Yes! Just like a psychiatrist, I am board-certified in psychiatry. My certification is through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). I am certified to treat psychiatric patients across the lifespan.
Improvement can start today.
