Psychiatric nurse practitioners provide medication management and assessment.  Medications and treatments for mental health symptoms can be overwhelming, but
understanding how a psychiatric nurse practitioner can help may reduce concerns. Understanding this can be the first step in managing symptoms.

Our mental well-being is connected to our physical health. Experiences like stress or trauma can leave us feeling anxious,  overwhelmed, and helpless. Untreated, these feelings can lead to psychological and physical illnesses. Our EMPOWER practitioners begin with an hour-long evaluation and assessment that includes an overview of
symptoms, a determination of diagnosis, and a medication treatment plan. Our 30-minute follow-up appointments allow our practitioners ample time to assess the patient’s response to the treatment plan  thoroughly.

The EMPOWER staff believes that the best of conventional medical and psychiatric diagnostic techniques and treatments can be combined with complementary
modalities such as mindfulness, vitamins and supplements, aromatherapy, yoga, and other integrative approaches to fully EMPOWER our patients.
