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?

We begin with a complimentary initial phone consultation so you can ask questions and make sure we’re the right fit before scheduling an appointment.          

​

During your first full appointment, we will:

  • Review your history and current health

  • Talk through your symptoms and concerns

  • Provide a clear diagnosis when appropriate

  • Discuss treatment options, which may include starting or adjusting medication​

​

Together, we’ll create treatment goals and a plan tailored to your unique needs.

​

Your care doesn’t end after the first visit—we will continue to assess how well your treatment is working, manage symptoms, and make adjustments as needed.

​

At Well Space, we see treatment as a partnership, and our ultimate goal is to help you feel better and supported on your journey.

 

 Will I have to take medication?

​

Not necessarily.

 

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

Can you help with perimenopause and hormonal mood changes?

​

Absolutely. Hormonal transitions can significantly affect mood, focus, anxiety, sleep, and emotional resilience. Treatment is personalized to your symptoms, goals, and stage of life.

Do you offer telehealth appointments?
 

Yes. All appointments are conducted through secure telehealth visits so you can receive care from the comfort of your home anywhere in New York or Connecticut.

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—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

To ensure that all clients have the opportunity to access our services, we kindly ask that you provide at least 48 hours’ notice if you are unable to attend your scheduled appointment.

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.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
