Satu Woodland, PMHNP
Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
My Approach
My aproach is holistic and integrative, meaning that I use an approach that addresses the body, the mind (or psyche) and spirit. I will start by offering a comprehensive evaluation of medical history, current and past psychiatric history, cultural issues and spiritual history.
I will most likely do some lab work to determine if there are any nutritional deficiencies or medical issues that could be effecting well-being. After results are formulated, together we will create a plan to help you with your goals.
We may decide to do some individual or relationship counseling, psychotherapy (Cognitive Behaviorial Therapy is a favorite and highly effective), health habit teaching or explore spiritual issues. We may discuss nutritional requirements and supplements for good mental health and if appropriate I may prescribe medication to help with troublesome symptoms that are impeding your ability to get healthy.
For those who already have a counselor or therapist, I will respect that relationship. I can offer my medical expertise and medication management services and coordinate care with your counselor or therapist.
