Good to know

Frequently asked questions

What is a PMHNP and how is it different from a psychiatrist?

A Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) is an advanced-practice registered nurse with graduate-level psychiatric training and national board certification. Like psychiatrists, PMHNPs evaluate, diagnose, and treat mental health conditions and prescribe medications — with a nursing philosophy that treats the whole person, not just symptoms.

Do you offer telehealth appointments?

Yes. Secure, confidential video visits are available for adults across Georgia, Washington, Iowa, and Arizona state. Telehealth is ideal for initial evaluations, follow-ups, and ongoing medication management from the comfort of home.

What happens at the first visit?

Your initial evaluation is unhurried and thorough. We review your history, symptoms, goals, and options, then build a personalized plan together — whether that includes medication, supportive therapy, lifestyle changes, or a combination. You will always leave knowing exactly what happens next.

Do you prescribe medication?

Yes, when it is clinically appropriate. Medication is one tool among many — we explain the benefits, alternatives, and what to expect, and we monitor closely with follow-up visits so your treatment stays fine-tuned.

Will you coordinate with my therapist or primary care doctor?

Absolutely. With your permission, we collaborate with your existing therapists, counselors, and physicians so your care is coordinated, consistent, and never fragmented.

How do I get started?

Send a message through the contact page or call the office. We will match you with a time that fits your schedule — including evening telehealth visits — and walk you through everything before your first appointment.

Your smile is not the only thing that deserves care. Your mind does too.

Take the first step today — a calmer, steadier season of life is possible, and you do not have to reach it alone.
