What is a psychiatry provider?
Psychiatry providers are trained as physicians or nurse practitioners. They specialize in mental health and behavioral sciences and have the expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of psychological and behavioral concerns, including the use of medication and psychotherapy. Nurse Practitioners (ARNP’s) also provide a unique blend of health maintenance and health care that form the core of holistic service. Professional staff seek to know each patient well, having the foreknowledge to help understand the special psychiatric and emotional needs of both men and women, families, and the military community.
