What Is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) in Colorado?
A PMHNP-BC is an advanced practice registered nurse with specialized training in psychiatric and mental health care. PMHNPs are licensed to diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medications, and provide psychotherapy — the same core functions as a psychiatrist. James Camp, PMHNP-BC, is a board-certified provider with extensive training and private practice experience in integrative and functional psychiatry.
What Happens During the First Integrative Psychiatry Appointment at Breakwater?
Your first appointment is a comprehensive 1-hour evaluation. Your symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, prior treatments, lifestyle factors, and goals are all reviewed in depth. This thorough assessment forms the foundation of your personalized treatment plan, and you will have plenty of time to ask questions and share your perspective.
Does Breakwater Prescribe Psychiatric Medication at the First Appointment?
Not always. Breakwater takes a thorough, conservative approach to prescribing. If medication is indicated and you are interested in it, options will be discussed with you at the first visit — including potential benefits, side effects, and alternatives — but a prescription will never be written without a complete evaluation and your informed consent.
