In the course of my personal dealings with patients and their family members as a Family Nurse Practitioner, I became sensitized by the isolation and stigma felt in society by those with mental health issues. I felt inclined to explore more and provide the needed help. Also, my exposure to family members and friends dealing with mental health issues has had a profound impact on my pursuit of more knowledge and awareness of mental health.
I engage my patient with a warm and welcoming interpersonal approach. It conjures a comfortable and reassuring environment that puts the patient at ease allowing for a smooth and open-ended discussion.Utilizes the totality of her professional experiences in other healthcare areas such as a nursing, family care provider and now me mental health care provider
I introduce myself and proceed to ask how I can be of service to them. I consider all pertinent differential diagnosis based on the presentation of current issues. Then, I let the patient know what my approach would be to arrive at final dialysis. Based on which an individualized treatment plan would be formulate, possibly to include talk therapy.

"
I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better."
