Patrick Wester, PMHNP
I'm a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience in psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, and interventional psychiatry.
My background includes treating complex depression and anxiety, overseeing ketamine and Spravato therapy, and providing TMS. I believe in a holistic, collaborative approach where we work together to find the treatment plan that best supports your goals.
Getting To Know Patrick
Healing is a journey, and I strive to treat not just symptoms but the underlying causes of mental health challenges. I combine evidence-based medication management with education, advocacy, and support to help patients feel heard, understood, and empowered. I want patients to be active participants in their care and to feel optimistic about their future.
In our first sessions, we'll spend time discussing your history, challenges, and goals. From there, I'll create a personalized plan that may include medication management, TMS, or ketamine therapy. Over time, we'll adjust and refine your treatment so it continues to meet your needs and move you toward lasting relief.
