Hi, I'm Katie Riehl
I'm a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner. I've been a nurse since 2011 and a psychiatric nurse practitioner for four years, helping children, teens, and adults ages 5 to 80 feel better and function better. My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative: you're not a diagnosis, and treatment should be a decision we make together.
I combine medication management with supportive therapy where it helps, and I adjust to what actually works for you.
