Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
Onsite and Virtual Care
The role of a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner is to assess, diagnose and treat the mental health needs of patients. Our Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners provide therapy and prescribe medications for patients who have mental health disorders or substance abuse problems. They may also provide physical and psychosocial assessments, emergency psychiatric care and treatment effectiveness evaluations.

Can Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners prescribe medications?
Yes. Psychiatric nurse practitioners have the ability to order labs and prescribe medications to aid in the treatment of their patients.
Can employees receive Psychiatric Care Virtually?
Our providers would typically like to see patients in person for the first visit to get to know the patient and then employees can use virtual visits for follow up visits.
Will our Clinics Providers rotate or will employees have the same providers?
While there is always a chance that there will be turnover of providers, we strive to have the same provider assigned to your clinic. We believe your employees will have better outcomes if they can have a consistent provider. This goes for video visits as well.
