Hello! Are you looking for a provider who recognizes we are currently living in a country and world that’s impacting everyone’s mental health? I am a queer, intersectional feminist with lived experience in retail, healthcare, as well as navigating a capitalist, patriarchal society that can feel unbearable. I’m here to support you on your mental health journey. I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing holistic, patient centered care through the lens of the biopsychosocial model–which means considering biological, psychological, and social factors when determining a diagnosis and treatment.
I provide psychiatric evaluations, determine diagnoses, and prescribe medications as appropriate to adolescents 16 and older, as well as adults 18 years and older. I strive to provide warm, compassionate care while giving you the opportunity to discuss any concerns you may have.
With respect and compassion for you and your unique lived experience, together we will collaborate on the best course of treatment to get you feeling better. By utilizing therapeutic techniques and medication management, my goal is to help you live your best life. Reach out today so we can get started!
Take the first step to help. Call or Cara Hardinger now - (410) 376-8735
