Psychiatry in Walnut Creek, California Dorothy Moore, Nurse Practitioner

I think it is important to tailor treatment plans to fit the individual. There is no one-sized solution in mental health care. Therapy is often a key part of that treatment plan and I encourage patients to seek therapy in addition to medication. I use a holistic approach to care, combined with evidence-based research. I provide medication management for ages 15 and older. I have a strong background in treating addiction, especially opioid use disorder and alcoholism. My other specialty areas include anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and bipolar spectrum disorders. I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I attended the University of San Francisco for my psychiatry training. I am also a board-certified Family Nurse practitioner. Before becoming a nurse practitioner, I worked for many years in the ICU and ER, which taught me that mental and physical health are very connected. I look forward to working with you to meet your mental health goals.
