What makes us different?
We are here: We know it takes a lot of courage to call or email to make an appointment. In these high stress times we know how important it is to connect. Our practice has staff dedicated to patient communication. We aim to get back to your inquiry same business day. If you call to speak to a live person we are able to accommodate this as we know how hard it is to reach out for help. Support staff is a vital piece of any healthcare practice. We get it and value it.
Our Nurse Practitioners: As nurses, our nurse practitioners are part of one of the most trusted professions. Nurse practitioners have much different training than other mental health providers. The standards for nurse practitioners are high as they are licensed to prescribe medication and must understand both psychiatry and the human body. At Psychiatric Wellness our nurse practitioners are trained at top tier schools and offer both mediation and therapy in most cases.
Our therapists: What also sets us apart is our highly trained therapists who have a vast knowledge of their specialties. When you choose a therapist with Psychiatric Wellness you can be rest assured that they understand the diagnosis you are struggling with. Therapists can be social workers, family marriage therapists or licensed mental health counselors. They are the added support you may need. We ensure our therapists have attended schools that are accredited, they are licensed and have extensive experience before arriving to the private practice setting.
Our patients: Our patients are engaged and committed to their treatment. They are perfectly imperfect! Our patients come from different backgrounds and walks of life. Many are in healthcare, professional settings, college students, those struggling with perfectionism, women’s health issues, depression, anxiety and managing life’s daily stressors. They are parents, siblings, coworkers, spouses, pet parents friends and family.
