I'm Kristen Nakano, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I specialize in supporting adults navigating the complexities of depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, personality disorders, and grief. Please note I am accepting only established patients with ADHD who have over 3 months of consecutive treatment.
I've served patients in high-stakes ICU wards, residential drug and mental health rehab facilities, and provided end-of-life care through hospice calls. Having worked in both the private and public sectors, I bring a well-rounded, grounded perspective to every session.
I believe that mental health care should be collaborative. My approach focuses on medication management tailored specifically to your goals. By working closely with you, your family, and your broader care team—including doctors and therapists—we develop an individualized treatment plan that treats you holistically, not just as a diagnosis.
I am passionate about this work because I believe everyone deserves access to unbiased mental health care. We are all touched by mental health challenges or know someone who is. I am dedicated to being a steady, non-judgmental resource for those considering medication management.
