Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

What Is A Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

A psychiatric nurse practitioner (PNP), or psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP), is an advanced practice registered nurse specializing in mental health care. They hold a master's or doctoral degree in nursing and are board-certified. PNPs assess, diagnose, and treat psychiatric disorders, prescribe medications, provide therapy, educate patients, and coordinate care with other healthcare providers. 


PMHNPs are dedicated to following evidence-based care grounded in the most current and robust research findings, enhancing the effectiveness of care. PMNPs help increase access to mental health care, provide integrated and patient-centered care, and play a crucial role in supporting patients with mental health conditions.

Quality Driven Care

Our providers are committed to evidence-based care, using validated assessment tools, personalized treatment planning, and valid pharmacologic evidence. This involves evidence-based psychotherapy, patient education, outcome measurement, and a focus on collaboration and ongoing education. Adhering to evidence-based care ensures that clinical decisions and interventions are based on the best available research, enhancing the quality and effectiveness of mental healthcare.

EPH Medication Management Services

Psychiatric medication management is designed to offer a structured and effective approach to treating mental health conditions, to improve both immediate and long-term outcomes for individuals. 

 Psychiatric medication management offers several benefits, including the following:

  1. Symptom Relief: Medication can effectively reduce or eliminate the symptoms associated with various psychiatric disorders, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and ADHD, leading to improved emotional stability and functioning.
  2. Improved Quality of Life: By alleviating symptoms, medications can help individuals lead more fulfilling lives, enhancing their ability to work, engage in social activities, and maintain healthy relationships.
  3. Enhanced Daily Functioning: Effective medication management can improve cognitive functions like concentration, decision-making, and emotional regulation, allowing individuals to perform daily tasks and responsibilities more efficiently.
  4. Prevention of Relapse: Proper medication management can reduce the likelihood of symptom recurrence or relapse, particularly in conditions like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, where long-term stability is crucial.
  5. Stabilization of Mood: For conditions characterized by mood swings or emotional instability, such as bipolar disorder, medication helps in achieving mood stabilization, reducing the frequency and severity of mood episodes.
  6. Reduction of Severe Symptoms: Medications can be essential in managing severe symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, or suicidal thoughts, providing immediate relief and preventing crises.
  7. Enhanced Overall Well-being: Effective medication management contributes to overall mental and physical well-being, reducing the stress and burden associated with unmanaged psychiatric conditions.
  8. Increased Adherence to Therapy: When symptoms are well-managed with medication, patients are more likely to engage in and benefit from other therapeutic interventions, such as psychotherapy or counseling.
  9. Customization of Treatment: Medication management allows personalized treatment plans tailored to individual needs, including adjusting dosages and switching medications to find the most effective regimen with the fewest side effects.
  10. Improved Relationships: By managing symptoms more effectively, individuals may experience improved relationships with family, friends, and colleagues, enhancing their social support network and emotional connections.
  11. Empowerment and Control: Successfully managing psychiatric symptoms with medication can give individuals a sense of control over their mental health, empowering them to take an active role in their treatment and recovery.


 Key components  of a medication management visit include: 

  1.  Assessment: The healthcare provider evaluates the patient's mental health condition, symptoms, and overall health history. This helps determine the most appropriate medication and dosage.
  2. Prescription: Based on the assessment, the provider prescribes medications that are intended to alleviate symptoms, stabilize mood, or address specific psychiatric conditions, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or ADHD.
  3. Monitoring: Regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor the medication's effectiveness, assess for side effects, and make any necessary adjustments. This may involve routine blood tests, mental health evaluations, and discussions about the patient's experience with the medication.
  4. Adjustment: Medication regimens may need to be adjusted over time based on the patient's response. This can involve changing the dosage, switching medications, or adding new medications to optimize treatment.
  5. Education: The provider educates the patient about the medication, including how it works, potential side effects, and the importance of adherence to the prescribed regimen.
  6. Collaboration: Effective medication management often involves collaboration with other healthcare providers, such as therapists, primary care physicians, or social workers, to ensure comprehensive care.
  7. Addressing Side Effects: Part of the management process includes addressing and mitigating any adverse effects or interactions the patient might experience from the medication.

 The goals of psychiatric medication management are focused on optimizing mental health and overall well-being through the effective use of medications. These goals typically include: 

  1.  Symptom Relief: The primary goal is to alleviate the symptoms of psychiatric disorders, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia, to improve the patient's daily functioning and quality of life.
  2. Stabilization: For conditions that involve mood swings or severe symptoms, medication management aims to stabilize the patient's mood and reduce the frequency and intensity of episodes.
  3. Prevention of Relapse: Maintaining medication adherence helps prevent the recurrence of symptoms and reduces the risk of relapse or worsening of the condition.
  4. Functional Improvement: Medications help patients function better in their daily lives, including in work, social interactions, and self-care.
  5. Minimization of Side Effects: Effective medication management seeks to minimize side effects and manage any adverse effects that may arise from the medications, aiming for the best balance between therapeutic benefits and potential risks.
  6. Personalization of Treatment: Adjusting the medication regimen to fit the individual's specific needs, including their unique symptoms, medical history, and personal preferences, is crucial for maximizing treatment effectiveness.
  7. Enhancement of Compliance: Educating patients about their medications, including how they work, potential side effects, and the importance of adherence.
  8. Coordination of Care: Collaborating with other healthcare providers, such as therapists and primary care physicians, to ensure that medication management is integrated with other patient care.
  9. Management: Developing a long-term strategy for managing the psychiatric condition, which may involve ongoing monitoring, periodic adjustments, and evaluation of the medication's effectiveness over time.


Cognitive Evaluation

A cognitive evaluation is an assessment of cognitive function to establish or confirm a diagnosis of conditions such as dementia or Alzheimer's disease and establish a plan of care.


During a cognitive assessment, the health care practitioner may:

  • Perform an exam, talk about medical history, and review medications
  • Identify social supports, including care that a caregiver can provide
  • Create a care plan to help address and manage symptoms
  • Help to develop or update an advanced care plan
  • Referral to a specialist if needed
  • Explain community resources, like rehabilitation services, adult day health programs, and support groups
