Psychiatric care focuses on evaluating, diagnosing, and treating mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, and attention difficulties, primarily through assessment and medication management. At Providence Holistic Healing, psychiatric visits also account for your physical health and current medications, reflecting the practice's whole-person approach.
This service is for individuals of all ages in Northern California who want a psychiatric evaluation, are currently on psychiatric medication and need ongoing management, or are noticing symptoms of anxiety, depression, or attention difficulties that are affecting daily life. If you would also like a routine physical, see our primary care page or contact our office to schedule both.
No referral is needed to schedule a psychiatric evaluation with a licensed nurse practitioner.
Many follow-up medication management visits can be completed from home by secure video.
We review your physical health and current medications alongside your mental health needs to support comprehensive, coordinated care.
Consistent care with the same provider builds trust and supports personalized treatment guided by your health history, needs, and goals.
Maurine Forche, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, PMHNP-C, is dual board certified, so psychiatric care in Northern California does not happen in isolation from your physical health. Learn more about the practice on our About page, or view our full list of services.
Your first visit includes a detailed conversation about your symptoms, history, current medications, and goals for treatment. We use this information to reach a diagnosis and discuss treatment options, which may include medication, lifestyle changes, or referral to therapy.
Yes. As a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner licensed in California, we can prescribe and manage psychiatric medications, including starting new medications, adjusting existing regimens, and monitoring for side effects at scheduled follow-up visits so your treatment plan stays on track over time.
Our psychiatric visits focus on evaluation and medication management rather than ongoing weekly psychotherapy sessions. When psychotherapy would help, we discuss this during your visit and can coordinate care with a therapist you are already seeing, or help you find one, alongside your medication management. In the meantime, we can provide short-term supportive therapy to help bridge the gap while you look for a longer-term therapist.
Timelines vary by medication and condition; some effects are noticeable within days, while others take several weeks to reach their full benefit. We schedule follow-up visits during this period to track how you are responding and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis or medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. You can also reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988, available 24/7.
