Kate Swartz

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner, and I work with people at every stage of life, from children to adolescents to adults.

The people I see come to me for all kinds of reasons: a child who can’t seem to focus in class, a teenager who feels like everything is too much, an adult who’s been carrying anxiety or depression for years and is finally ready to do something about it. Some are managing more complex conditions like bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or substance use. Others simply want to feel more like themselves again. Steadier, sharper, more resilient.

What I offer is medication management grounded in evidence, paired with a view of the whole picture. How you’re sleeping, what stress looks like in your life, how your relationships and physical health factor in. Sometimes the answer isn’t a prescription. Sometimes it’s not just a prescription.

My approach is collaborative. You may have spent real time trying to understand what’s going on before you ever walked through my door. I honor that work, and I want to hear what you’ve learned.

I see patients both in person and virtually.
