Using your smartphone, you can consult with a nurse, a physician, or a mental health professional to receive ongoing care when your primary care physician is unavailable, to get a prescription refilled, review test results or medical summaries, or to have a remote therapy or counseling appointment.

Our psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners are responsible for assessing the mental health status of patients by studying their relevant medical history, performing comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, and identifying risk factors that might affect a patient’s mental health. They make diagnoses of their patients’ mental illness based on their assessment, and then determine what will be the most effective plan of care. By utilizing their knowledge of psychotherapy modalities and psychopharmacology, and in collaboration with psychotherapists and other professionals, these advanced-practice nurses put their patients on a regimen of therapy and prescription medication to improve their mental health.

During counseling, family members learn how their words and actions affect others within the family unit – including those not directly involved in conflict.
