What is a Nurse Practitioner?


A Nurse Practitioner (NP) is an advanced practice nurse with a master’s degree (or higher) and specialized training in diagnosing, testing, and prescribing medications.

​

Nurse Practitioners are licensed by individual states and hold national board certification in their area of specialty.

​

My background in nursing shapes my warm, person-centered approach to treatment—grounded in authenticity, compassion, and unconditional positive regard.

Is everything I say confidential?

Yes. Everything you share with us is kept strictly confidential.

​

We will never share your information without your written consent, unless we are concerned about your safety, the safety of someone else, or if we are legally obligated to do so.

​

Your privacy is deeply respected and protected at Well Space.

What can I expect during my first visit? ​

Your first appointment is a chance for us to get to know you, understand your concerns, and explore how we can help. Together, we will:

  • Review your health history and current well-being

  • Talk through your symptoms, concerns, and questions

  • Discuss a diagnosis when appropriate

  • Explore treatment options, including whether starting or adjusting medication may be helpful

​

We’ll develop treatment goals and a personalized plan that reflects your needs and preferences. The decision to take medication is always yours. If you choose not to, that’s okay—you can still leave with a clearer understanding of your options and possible next steps.

​

At follow-up visits, we’ll assess how you’re feeling, review how treatment is working, and make adjustments together as needed.

​

At Well Space, care is a partnership. Our goal is to help you feel better, informed, and supported along the way.

 Will I have to take medication?​

 

Medication is one treatment option, but we will carefully review your symptoms, goals and preferences before making any recommendations.

Which insurance plans do you accept?


We accept many major insurance plans as well as private pay.


Before your appointment, we’ll verify your benefits so you’ll know exactly what’s covered—which means no surprise bills.

​

What if you don’t accept my insurance?


If we are not in-network with your insurance, we can provide you with the paperwork needed to submit for reimbursement. Please note that reimbursement depends on whether your plan includes out-of-network benefits, so we encourage you to contact your insurance provider directly to confirm your coverage.

Cancellation Policy

We understand that unexpected emergencies may arise; however, please value our time as much as we value yours.

​

Please note: Late cancellations or missed appointments will be charged the full session fee, as outlined in your patient agreement.
