Hi there, I have been a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner since 2021. I am licensed in MA and NH. Before this I was a psychiatric and substance abuse RN for 8 years, having worked in various settings over the years: In-patient psych, home psychiatric visiting nursing, methadone clinics, detox/residential programs, and finally outpatient practice. What I have learned over the years is that you don't have to live like this. There is a lot that can be done to help you, and I know we will find the way. If you don't have good mental health, you have nothing, so lets figure out what you need to live your best life!
