Wow! This was my first time seeing one of your videos and your experience and observations were so well articulated as was the answering of the questions and guidance! I'm subscribing! You may have answered this in another video, but are there employers who will hire you as a PMHNP and give you the opportunity do some psychotherapy or group counseling sessions as the main treatment emphasis, as well as handling other clients in the more traditional treatments provided by a PMHNP (medication management, etc.)? Also, I've seen a lot of Nurse Coaching trainings that begin to look a lot like counseling or Psychotherapy. Is there opportunities to do that kind of work as a PMHNP as well?
@The B Thank you for watching and for your comment! :) Yes, there are various treatment models that you will encounter as a PMHNP. This may include working in a hybrid model where you perform psychotherapy and medication management- this does exist. It sounds like you may be interested in a position that has more focus on psychotherapy? Also, regarding nurse coaching, there are many trainings out there, but please keep in mind that this is a different scope of practice than a PMHNP. Certification with coaching may be vague and it is not necessarily regulated by a board of nursing in most states. This means that essentially any training can be formulated and teach you to be a coach. There may be overlap with the skills that you focus on with coaching and as a PMHNP/psychotherapy (such as motivational interviewing). As a PMHNP you can do coaching, but this does not encompass any specifics of the PMHNP role. I hope this helps and feel free to hang around. -Camellia D.
@@CamelliaDThePsychNP Thank you so much for your reply! I am interested in psychotherapy, yes and I have some background studies in it, but I like the other aspects a nurse can bring to the table that is lacking in typical psychotherapy modalities. I also appreciate the clarification around nurse coaching and feel that is wise advice! I will definitely be hanging around! Thank you again!
@@theb1114 Great. There is definitely a "best of both worlds" scenario that can be created as a PMHNP. I'm glad you found this helpful. Feel free to ask any additional questions along your journey. I wish you the best. Take care, Camellia D.
@cody4586 Great question... and the short answer is yes, but not because it is standalone psychotherapy. It would be because it is a restricted state that physician oversight is needed. Psychotherapy falls under the PMHNP's scope of practice. Therefore, whichever duties the PMHNP can do within their scope of practice in an unrestricted or restricted state is what is allowed. Please let me know if you need further clarification here. Thanks for watching! -Camellia D.
Hi Camellia! I'm currently in school completing my counseling degree for LPC licensure. My ultimate goal is to open a private practice providing psychotherapy and medicinal care so that my clients can have everything in house. In your opinion, what are your thoughts on this idea? If you see this and decide to respond, I appreciate the response!
@Shay.. Hi there! Congratulations on your journey to this rewarding work! In my opinion, this is the perfect model for client/patient care for many reasons. Patients benefit from collaborative care, which is often necessary when providing multi-faceted mental health care. In my experience, this model has seemed to work best to provide quality , consistent care. I wish you the best! -Camellia D.
As always, great information! These videos are so motivating. I am on my journey to completing the PMHNP program and really appreciate your insight!
@LaShae Elizabeth Thank you! I'm glad you are finding some motivation here! :)
Stay encouraged,
Camellia D.
Thank you. Great information and explanation. I like how you explained the risks for patients and different types of therapy😊
@Gina Ashman Thank you for watching and for your feedback. Much appreciated!
Take good care,

Do PMHNPs providing psychotherapy, as a stand alone service, need physician oversight in restricted practice states?

I’m an LPC looking to transition to a PMHP.
@A_Marie_C Hi there! This sounds like an awesome path to take as an LPC! I'm sure your experience from both angles will serve patients well. :)
