Insomnia Treatment in Lutherville-Timonium, Maryland

WHAT IS A PSYCHIATRIC MENTAL HEALTH NURSE PRACTITIONER? 
A Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) is a professional who started their career and is experienced as a registered nurse (RN) but decided to go back to graduate school for a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree. This Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) is board-certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) to evaluate, diagnose and treat a wide variety of mental illnesses.

WHAT OTHER PROFESSIONALS MAY BE INVOLVED IN MY CARE? 
We believe in a holistic, collaborative approach to care that is client-led. This means that during our appointments, we will make joint decisions on who needs to be involved in your psychiatric care. Some professionals that may be involved are primary care providers, therapists, or neuropsychologists.

DO YOU PRESCRIBE CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES? 
We will evaluate your need for controlled substances for diagnoses such as ADHD or anxiety; however, just because you have a prescription for one of these medications does not mean that they will be re-prescribed at our practice. Our practice is very conservative about prescribing controlled substances, and most likely, we will talk about other options for your particular symptoms.

 DO YOU PROVIDE TELEPSYCHIATRY SERVICES? 
YES! We are offering telemedicine/telehealth/telepsychiatry services to any client residing in Maryland who would like to schedule an appointment.

DO YOU PROVIDE SUBOXONE TREATMENTS FOR OPIOID DEPENDENCE?
At this time, we are not providing these services.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT ON MY FIRST VISIT? 
Feeling stressed can be normal when thinking about making your first appointment or meeting your provider the first day. It is usually a much easier appointment than any of our clients expect. During your first appointment, we will be obtaining additional information from you. Basically, we will sit and talk about your concerns, things that may be affecting you and causing some of your symptoms, and recommended treatments. It is a team approach, meaning that our professionals will give you their opinions but also expect you to help with making decisions about your care.
