Why would I see a Nurse Practitioner (NP) instead of a "psychiatrist near me" for psychiatric medications?
Often when you search online for a "psychiatrist near me", when you contact them to make an appointment you find that the psychiatrists at the clinic are booked out and that you won't be able to see one of them for months. Nurse Practitioners are often available a lot sooner and they can prescribe the same psychiatric medications as psychiatrists. So instead of searching for "psychiatrist near me" online, just give us a call and schedule an appointment with one of our nurse practitioners.
Ardent Counseling Center has nurse practitioners who can help you work through a wide range of problems and life struggles. Our nurse practitioners can help you determine the services that will work best in helping you move through your current situation.
