— Joseph F.
I’ve been seeing Daniel Plastino for about 3 years now and he has been instrumental in helping me through my mental health challenges. I was at the lowest point in my life when I met Daniel, and through his compassion and knowledge of mental health, we were able to not only develop a treatment plan that truly fit my needs, but I was able to get back to living life again. I feel empowered now knowing that I have the tools that I need to navigate through life’s challenges. Thanks Daniel for all you do!

FAQs
-
Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PMHNPs) and Psychiatrists both assess, diagnose, and treat individuals with mental health conditions, but their roles can differ in education, training, and scope of practice, depending on the state.
In some states, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners must work with a collaborating Psychiatrist. In these states, Psychiatrists, who are medical doctors (MDs or DOs), often have a broader scope of practice, allowing them to independently prescribe medication, conduct more intensive procedures such as electroconvulsive shock therapy (ECT), and manage psychiatric conditions with serious medical implications.
In contrast, in Colorado, PMHNP’s have full practice authority, which means they can practice independently. PMHNPs are advanced practice nurses with a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN). They often take a holistic approach to mental health care, whereas Psychiatrists may take a more biological approach, primarily emphasizing medications to manage symptoms. That being said, in Colorado, both professionals provide very similar services like psychiatric medication management, psychotherapy, developing and monitoring mental health treatment plans, and providing patient education. Both work in various settings, including hospitals, private practices, and mental health clinics.
