What do Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioners do?
Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PMHNP) are advanced practice registered nurses who provide comprehensive mental health care, including diagnosis, therapy, medication management, and preventative services for all ages.
They assess patient conditions, develop and implement treatment plans that incorporate physical and psychosocial aspects, and collaborate with other healthcare professionals.
To become a PMHNP, individuals typically pursue a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) or a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) after earning their initial nursing degree and licensure.

Treatment Planning: Develop and implement individualized treatment plans that may include psychotherapy, medication, and lifestyle modifications tailored to each patient’s specific needs.
Medication Management: Prescribe and manage medications, including monitoring for side effects and adjusting dosages as needed.
Therapeutic Services: Offer individual, family, and group therapy to help patients achieve their wellness goals.
Patient Education: Educate individuals and communities about mental health concerns and prevention strategies.
Consultation & Collaboration: Work with other healthcare providers and systems to ensure holistic, coordinated patient care.
