Hi Everyone!
I wanted to take a moment to clarify a couple of things. The various positions/degrees/certifications in mental/behavioral health can lead to some confusion in regard to “who does what” and who is/are the appropriate clinician(s) to see. Don’t worry, my own family doesn’t completely grasp the concept of what exactly it is I do either 😉
So I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. This means I am an APRN specializing in psychiatry. I see patients on an outpatient basis and manage their mental health with psychiatric medications. I am not a counselor or formal therapist. Though basic talk therapy is incorporated into my med management visits, my primary focus is psychiatric medications/regimen management. I am not offering CBT, DBT, EMDR or other formal ‘therapy only’ visits at this time.
I’m not sure what the future of Enlight holds, specific to expanding services down the road, but in the meantime I hope this explanation is helpful…again, I wouldn’t expect the general public to automatically know these details or be independently knowledgeable in this area or specialty.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! I’m happy to help!
