The staff at Advanced Behavioral Counseling of Northern NJ, believes in tailoring treatment to each patient's individual goals. As such, we have adopted an integrative care model in our practice, utilizing complementary/integrative medical approaches when appropriate. We have experience in the nutritional, vitamin, and herbal supplementation to treat certain mental health conditions when there is evidence to support their use.
However, there are many psychiatric conditions that require pharmacological management first, and the complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) options may be integrated later on. The Psychiatric Advanced Practice Nurse provides comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, prescribes psychiatric medication, and conducts psychotherapy/individual, group, marital, and family counseling in a variety of settings.
A Psychiatric Advanced Practice Nurse is first educated as a registered professional nurse with additional graduate education in psychiatric-mental health nursing at the Master's or Doctoral level.
