David Buckley, PMHNP-BC
Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
David is a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner. He provides psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and individual psychotherapy.
His approach to medication treatment is client-centered and collaborative. Knowing each client has their own individual goals and priorities, David will review the risks and benefits of various treatment options including whether medication management is appropriate at all. And given his awareness of the intimate connection between physical and mental health, David will also discuss if potential lifestyle changes should be part of treatment, such as improvements to sleep exercise and nutrition.
​
David's approach to psychotherapy is grounded in the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) model.
