What to Expect from a Visit with a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
Starting with a new mental health provider can feel uncertain. Will you be heard? Will there be time to explain your story? Too many patients are used to “five-minute check-ins” that feel transactional rather than therapeutic.
At Therapeutic Infusions, our psychiatric nurse practitioners were chosen for something more. They’re not just credentialed providers—they are compassionate listeners, thoughtful guides, and skilled clinicians trusted to carry forward our clinic’s philosophy of care.
A Thoughtful First Meeting
Your first appointment with a psychiatric nurse practitioner isn’t about rushing through a checklist. It begins with conversation. You’ll have the space to share your history, current struggles, and hopes for treatment. Rather than fitting you into a formula, your provider takes the time to understand the whole picture of your life and health.
Expertise With Empathy
Our clinic is led by a physician with decades in emergency medicine and a doctor of ministry whose work is rooted in pastoral care. That blend of medical rigor and human understanding shapes the way we practice—and the reason we choose our psychiatric nurse practitioners so carefully. Each one brings not only clinical skill, but also the capacity to engage deeply, helping patients feel seen, heard, and understood.
Care That Extends Beyond Prescriptions
Medication can be an important part of treatment, but it’s never the only part. Our PNPs provide comprehensive care: medication management when appropriate, but also therapeutic conversation, ongoing support, and collaborative planning. Appointments are designed to leave room for questions, reflection, and growth.
An Elevated Experience
Patients often describe their visits as unhurried and even restorative. The goal isn’t just symptom relief—it’s to foster a process of healing and transformation. Whether you’re navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, or attention challenges, your nurse practitioner walks with you through every stage of care.
A Different Standard of Care
In a world where access to mental health care is limited and appointments often feel rushed, our approach is deliberately different. We believe that real healing takes time, compassion, and clinical excellence. That’s why we’ve built a team of psychiatric nurse practitioners who embody those values, offering patients an experience that is both professional and profoundly human.
Meet the Team Behind the Care
The quality of your care depends on the people providing it. At Therapeutic Infusions, our psychiatric services are led by providers carefully chosen for their insight, compassion, and skill in connecting with patients. From Dr. Joseph Raziano’s decades of medical leadership to the thoughtful, patient-centered care offered by our PNPs, each member of our team brings a depth of expertise and humanity to their work.
