Karen Schaaf

I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner. I use a therapeutic response to the treatment of mental health as well as treating the individual holistically. I am passionate about providing quality, compassionate, and comprehensive mental health to children, adolescents, and adults. Things that I possess are strong clinical skills enhanced by a natural ability to build rapport with patients and their families. I believe in following evidenced-based guidelines, blended with clinical experience, personal observation, and intuition. Being a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner my role is multifaceted which includes educator, mental health advocate, therapist, and scientist.
