My name is Tiffany Stradling, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I am passionate about helping people to feel their best. Mental health challenges can and do affect every aspect of life, and I consider it a privilege to be part of the healing journey for my clients.
My approach
I believe that medications are just one piece of the puzzle in the process of achieving optimal mental health. In addition to medication management, I incorporate various lifestyle assessments and therapeutic modalities into my visits.
My focus
I work with clients of all ages and walks of life. I primarily work with clients experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and ADHD, though I have treated clients with many other disorders as well.
My communication style
I do my best to create a very relaxed and comfortable environment. I recognize that medical appointments, particularly relating to mental health, can be very stressful. I do my best to learn about my clients' lives, so I can know who they are beyond just their diagnoses. I work together with clients to identify barriers and solutions.
My journey to mental healthcare
I was a bedside RN for 10 years before going back to school to be a PMHNP. In that time, I found myself being drawn to patients struggling with mental health concerns. I found that I was able to connect with them, and they were able to trust and confide in me. I love being able to help people return to feeling like themselves.
My goals for you
Goal setting is very collaborative in my practice. I understand that change can take time, and the client needs to be ready to change. I am continually assessing readiness for change and identifying barriers to change. Then, the client and I work together to develop actionable and reasonable steps that can be taken to reach goals.
My first session with you
The first session will be a comprehensive evaluation, where we will go over an in-depth history of medical, social, and psychiatric factors. We will address your most pressing concerns, and discuss potential treatment options. Most of the time, these options will include discussion of psychiatric medication to treat symptoms, but this varies depending on the situation.
