What is a psychiatric nurse practitioner?
Integrative Psychiatry and Wellness is a multi-clinician practice. Psychiatric care is provided by nurse practitioners. Therapy is provided by independently licensed therapists and, under board-registered clinical supervision, by pre-licensed associate clinicians. You are matched to the clinician whose training fits what you actually need, and when you see both a psychiatric clinician and a therapist here, the two sides of your care talk to each other.
In person at our Mission Viejo office, and by secure telehealth across California, Oregon, Washington and Colorado. Clinicians see patients only in the states they are licensed in.
Ongoing follow-up care is available by telehealth in all four states we serve.
We would rather say plainly what we do not do. Formal adult autism diagnostic assessment, neuropsychological testing and sleep studies are arranged by referral to clinicians who specialise in them.
Monday to Friday, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm · Saturday, 10:00 am – 2:00 pm · Closed Sunday
