I graduated from the University of South Alabama with a Master of Science in Nursing, to become a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I have seen how mental health conditions often intersect with physical health issues, substance use disorders, and social determinants of health, which has driven me to pursue a holistic, integrative approach to care. Growing up in a military family with a multiethnic background, I am accustomed to meeting the needs of diverse populations. I also enjoy my three dogs, being active with CrossFit and yoga, going to concerts, and attending sci-fi/anime conventions.

FAQ - Behavioral Issues Psychiatrists
How can a behavioral psychiatrists help?
Behavioral issues is a general term used to encompass conditions like Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and Conduct Disorder (CD), which significantly impact the behavior and emotional functioning of children and adolescents. These disorders are characterized by disruptive behaviors that create substantial challenges for children and their family across emotional, academic, and social domains. Psychiatrists specializing in behavioral issues have expertise in diagnosing these conditions and crafting treatment plans. Their approach typically integrates therapy and medication while helping families navigate supportive services. Psychiatrists may also address underlying factors—such as trauma—that may fuel behavioral disturbances.
What treatment approaches are used for behavioral issues?
Because behavioral issues can present in a variety of ways, treatment is usually very individualized. Psychotherapeutic approaches—such as age-appropriate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), or play therapy—are commonly used to help children improve emotional regulation and communication skills. For parents and caregivers, psychiatrists can also offer support—such as by helping them manage challenging behaviors and strengthen parent-child trust. Medications can also be effective in some cases to help manage symptoms and help regulate mood. When medication is recommended, it is typically paired with behavioral strategies and ongoing monitoring to ensure safety and effectiveness.
How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in behavioral issues?
Psychology Today's online directory serves as a valuable resource for families seeking qualified psychiatrists (MDs) or psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in behavioral issues. The platform's search filters enable users to identify providers with specific expertise in areas such as oppositional behavior, medication management, and psychological evaluation. Families can refine their search based on multiple criteria including age group specialization (e.g. children or adolescents), accepted insurance plans, geographic location, and session fees. When evaluating potential psychiatrists, families should inquire about their specific treatment philosophy, as well as their commitment to collaborating with school professionals and other members of the child's care team.
