What to expect from treatment

An intake with Lindsay will include a 60 min interview to discuss your personal history as it relates to mental health challenges and barriers to success. Medication options may be discussed and implemented, as well as other non-pharmaceutical interventions. As the most knowledgeable and experienced member of your healthcare team you will be involved in every decision made regarding your treatment.

  • Medication management sessions — 30-60 min follow up appointments as deemed appropriate following an intake

  • Therapeutic approaches — Lindsay uses a variety of non-medication approaches in order to individualize your care. This may include cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and person-centered therapy.

  • Medical monitoring — While not a replacement for a positive relationship with a PCP, Lindsay recognizes that physical + mental health exist in the same body and are constantly impacting one another. To address this duality, Lindsay will order labs and monitor vital signs as appropriate and agreed up to monitor for effectiveness of treatment, catch potential side effects early on, and identify underlying biological conditions that may be negatively contributing to symptoms of depression, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, poor concentration, and weight gain.

What Sets Us Apart

At Thistle + Finch you will be met with a humanistic and person-centered approach. This is not your conventional, suit-behind-the-desk interview. It is personal and includes you in every aspect of your care.

Conventional = “What’s wrong and how do we treat it?” (cookie cutter)
Person-centered = “Who are you, what’s happening in your life, and how do we support your health together?” (individualized to you and your specific needs)

People-First Approach

Everything we do is built around understanding your needs and helping you succeed—because when you thrive, so do our communities, families, and homes.

A Focus on Quality

We hold our work to high standards and use the best science available to stay informed of best treatment options.

Reliability You Can Count On

At Thistle + Finch Wellness, your messages always go directly to your provider. There is no middle man or administrative staff who need to process this and filter it out. The result is a quicker response time and ability to solve issues between appointments.

Experience Matters

With over 7 years experience as a full-time psychiatric nurse practitioner, you can trust that you are working with someone who is skilled in her ability to assess, treat, and evaluate mental health conditions when you work with Lindsay
