Mental illness is hard. Hard to understand, even harder to explain while facing challenges and limitations in looking for treatment options. Seeking mental health treatment is also hard. Talking to someone about highly personal issues; waiting for weeks to months for an appointment; conflicting opinions on what might be best for you, only to feel frustrated with the time and effort needed to get better. With all the challenges you face, in moments of crisis, seeking out care for your mental health can be lifesaving! Whatever your situation, I have worked to provide options to help you receive timely, quality care.

While medication management is the traditional approach that a psychiatric nurse practitioner uses, I also feel exploring physical, emotional and behavioral health and using non traditional treatments have a place to serve some patients
Our mental health is just as important as our physical health. Everyone needs check ups! We all experience challenges, and everyone at some point in life can benefit from mental health assistance and support. Having a mental health provider help navigate the process of gaining optimal mental health can make all the difference! I want every patient I meet with to leave our appointment feeling hopeful, ready to take steps to move forward and improve their quality of life.

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.
