You’ll see acronyms under each clinician’s name above. These represent licenses for training. Here’s a little quick reference to understand more what these qualifications represent.

PMHNP Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse practitioner

A nurse practitioner is a registered nurse who has completed advanced medical training to be able to provide specialized care with an independent scope of practice. At Sunstone, we focus on the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of a variety of mental and behavioral health concerns.  Treatment plans may include prescription medication, brief psychotherapy, and/or appropriate referrals. While a PMHNP’s work is similar to a psychiatrist’s in many ways, the approach comes from a nursing tradition: placing a high value on the autonomy of those with whom we work and an appreciation of the individual in the context of their larger lives.

LCSW licensed clinical social worker

A licensed clinical social worker at Sunstone is a clinician who has completed graduate work and obtained licensure in their field, enabling them to provide specialized talk-based interventions to address areas of crisis or concern as well as support overall mental wellness.  They help clients build cognitive and emotional skills to thrive and serve as an empathetic and genuine guide.
