Kerry Kokaisel
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Practitioner (PMHNP) with 20 year’s experience working in various settings (inpatient, outpatient, psychiatric triage, alcohol, and drug rehab, consultation and crisis stabilization). My practice style is a mix of traditional medications management and cognitive behavioral therapies while taking a holistic patient-centered approach that integrates both.
During the initial visit, the client can expect a comprehensive assessment that includes discussing his/her medic al and psychiatric histories, current symptoms and life stressors. As I gather the client’s input, I will begin to formulate potential diagnoses and treatment plan (may include medications, lifestyle changes, and/or therapies, seeking the clients input throughout the process. I hope to create an environment that allows the client openly to talk about experiences and share current emotional experiences.
