PMHNP stands for Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. This an advanced practice nurse that has gone on to complete doctoral or masters level training in psychiatry. The role of the PMHNP is to assess, diagnose and treat the mental health needs of patients. Treatment may include analysis, psychotherapy, counseling, medication, and hospitalization. The PMHNP uses knowledge of human behavior and mental health conditions to help patients manage symptoms associated with mental health and substance use disorders.

A psychiatric NP, also known as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP), is an advanced practice nurse who cares for individuals with psychiatric and mental health disorders. A psychiatrist is a doctor who cares for the same population. In many ways, these two careers overlap. Both PMHNPs and psychiatrists assess, diagnose, and treat patients. Treatment may include analysis, psychotherapy, counseling, medication, and hospitalization. Both use in-depth knowledge of human behavior and mental health conditions to help patients manage symptoms associated with mental health and substance use disorders.

We are not available to take phone calls during the day as we are seeing patients. Please leave a detailed voicemail and we will return your call as soon as possible. Current patients are also encouraged to utilize the patient care portal to send secure messages to the provider. If calls and messages are increasing in duration and frequency, this may be a sign that we need to see you in clinic sooner and you may be asked to schedule a sooner follow up appointment.

Per state law, please ensure you are located in the state of Indiana at the time of your virtual appointment. If you are not, we will not be able to see you and you will be responsible for the full visit fee.

Absolutely not. We believe that there are many universal truths that can be applied to many religious and faith affiliations. The spiritual component of your care will be based upon your comfort level.
