Rebecca Brooklyn. APRN-PMHNP, BC
I have been a health-care provider for more than 30 years, starting as a Certified Nurse Midwife.
Returning for a second degree in Psychiatry in 2013, I now practice patient- and family-centered psychiatry with individuals and families to help people create a life that has dignity, meaning and joy.
My practice consists of clients from 5 to 95 years of age. I have always believed that brain health is the key to every form of well-being; and every individual regardless of their diagnosis or symptoms has the potential to be healthier. I work to achieve maximum symptom reduction with lowest effective medication doses, thus minimizing side effects and tailoring treatment to individual needs. This involves evaluating for medical, nutritional, hormonal, psychodynamic or emotional and environmental causes of symptoms. I take the time to ensure that medication is always prescribed with care.
We work as a team to identify the best treatment for you.
It involves us working together to improve well-being and growth in all areas of your life. The beautiful Wisteria is a symbol of our work: Wisteria expresses sorrow, but it is also an incredibly durable vine, able to live and even flourish, through mistreatment and harsh conditions.
