Your first visit is an unhurried 50-minute evaluation covering your history, symptoms, current medications, and goals. You'll leave with a clear, written treatment plan — including any medication recommendations and a follow-up schedule.

Initial evaluations are 50 minutes. Follow-up medication management visits are typically 20–30 minutes.

Yes. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), Lori diagnoses conditions, prescribes medication, and provides ongoing medication management — adjusting your plan as you progress.

A Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner holds an advanced practice nursing degree with specialized psychiatric training, and can prescribe medications, diagnose conditions, and manage treatment — covering the same essential functions as a psychiatrist for most patients. The key distinction: psychiatrists hold a medical doctorate (MD or DO) and are uniquely qualified to perform official diagnostic evaluations required for disability determinations, specialized programs, and certain legal or institutional assessments. If you need that level of documentation, we'll let you know upfront and refer you to the right resource.
