“My psych NP was fantastic! She had clearly read and paid attention to my intake form, she asked insightful questions that clarified what specifically she needed to know, and she involved me in the process of sorting out what my diagnosis should be. I was nervous going in, but she made me feel comfortable almost immediately and seemed to genuinely care about me and my mental health.”
