Your Nurse Practitioner in Psychiatry

Mentalby

I'm Dr. Alden Bush, a board-certified Nurse Practitioner in Psychiatry. I specialize in working with adults dealing with mental health issues like ADHD, trauma, depression, anxiety, and insomnia. I offer medication services only and am fully bilingual in English and Spanish. Currently, I only see patients virtually. It's important to note that I am not a Psychiatrist (MD) but a prescribing clinician in Psychiatry. I do NOT provide formal psychotherapy services and prefer to leave that to more seasoned therapists.

I am a strong supporter of the combined efficacy of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy for symptom relief. I recommend all of my patients find a dedicated therapist while receiving my medication management services. Although I don't provide psychotherapy services, I do incorporate supportive therapy in each of my medication management sessions.

Life can often bring situations we are unprepared for. Whether we face complicated feelings, emotions, traumatic pasts, or current problems, help is only a message away. I hope to provide you with a safe space free of judgment, where you may be heard and empowered and work together as equal partners to meet your goals and find relief.
