Kirsten Book, PMHNP
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
As someone in recovery from an eating disorder, I understand the challenges of the journey firsthand. Therapy and medication were instrumental in my recovery, but true healing began when I was ready to embrace change. I now maintain my progress through continued therapy, regular exercise, positive affirmations, and by surrounding myself with a supportive and positive environment. My personal experience allows me to approach my patients with empathy, compassion, and humility, using not only medications and therapy but also instilling hope, which I believe is just as essential as any treatment.
