Psychiatrist vs. Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
While Psychiatrists do have a more extensive education, Nurse Practitioners generally spend more time with clients. Both can assess, diagnose, prescribe and treat clients.
Our initial appointments are one hour in length with follow up appointments generally 30 minutes long. This allows time for more thorough assessment and for counseling. Most psychiatrists in the Sarasota area are cash pay or work in large organizations. While, there are a few very good independent psychiatrists that do take insurance they are usually very busy and have nurse practitioners who work for them.
We have a small, very quiet office. Debbie Singletary has been the receptionist for several years and tries to answer the phone so you do not have to wait for a call back. Call today if you need help. 941-870-7060.

Forest Bathing
Forest Bathing
Thanks for visiting my website and taking a walk in the forest! I love taking morning walks. There is a small forest near my house and I love to visit this forest in the morning. I have seen a wonderful owl there one morning who came to say hi to me out of curiosity. He flew from a tree across a small creek to perch on a tree above my head and he looked straight at me with his wide open eyes. That image is forever imprinted on my mind. I see rabbits, squirrels and wonderful flowers on the way to the forest where I breath in the forest air.
Being in nature is very healing. There have even been studies done on Forest Bathing and how it can be good for our health. Walking is great. Being out in nature is awesome. If you go out in the early morning (before 7am is my favorite time) the early morning light will reset your body clock and help you sleep at night.
Thank you for visiting and taking a walk in my forest today. You are welcome to visit anytime!
