Medication Management Services
Richard Dubourg, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
Available for Telehealth Appointments
I have been a registered nurse since 2015, and in that time have worked in a variety of settings, including emergency medicine, corrections, and home health. It wasn't until I started working on an inpatient psychiatric unit and noticing firsthand the numerous gaps in our mental health system that I decided to pursue advanced practice. After achieving my master's degree in 2020, I became board-certified as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Since then, I have treated patients of all ages in both the inpatient and outpatient settings. I have experience utilizing medication and psychotherapy to treat a wide range of mental health issues, including mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD, and substance use disorders. Unfortunately, there is no "one size fits all" approach to mental health. As such, I am a strong proponent of utilizing multiple modalities, including therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes in order to help patients reach their goals.
