A modern approach to mental health
Our intake process is hands-on and we take the time to get to know you and your individual needs. We then create an effective evidence-based treatment plan tailored to suit you. Most appointments typically include medication management with a supportive therapy component.
Comprehensive Assessment
We talk about you, your life both past and present, your medical and medication history including any concerns relating to treatment.
Empowered Diagnosis
We take the time to fully understand your symptoms so we can make an accurate diagnosis. We then help you better understand your symptoms and diagnosis so that you are empowered during treatment.
Tailored Treatment
Our treatment plans are always tailored to your individual needs and may include medication in combination with supportive therapy. However, there is no one-size-fits-all treatment plan.

Due to telehealth restrictions, the following disorders are best treated in-person
Psychosis, active self-harm, suicidal thoughts, recent psychiatric hospitalization, crisis care and substance abuse. We also do not prescribe controlled substances during the intake appointment and prescribe them sparingly over the telehealth platform due to the need for additional monitoring.
Who we are
We are a professional association of independent Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners with common values and ethical standards.
