The Informed Consent Conversation Many People Are Never Given

One of the most common questions I receive is: “How do I find someone who practices like you in my area?” The honest answer is that the kind of care I offer — genuinely informed, evidence-based, patient-centered psychiatric practice — remains rare. That is heartbreaking, and it is exactly why I created this guide. 

The most important thing I can do as a psychiatric nurse practitioner is to teach my clients how to advocate for themselves. This guide attempts to constitute the informed consent conversation I give to each of my clients. 

I offer it here, completely free.
