Katelyn Dunn

My communication style

I provide active listening and emotional support in a calm and nurturing environment. I am transparent in my communication and encourage my patients to speak about their experiences and opinions without fear of judgment. I encourage my patients to ask questions and take an active role in their mental health care.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always had a passion for psychiatry and neurology. I became a nurse in 2014 and worked extensively in clinical research before practicing psychiatry. I am grateful for the opportunity to get to know my patients, to learn about their unique experiences, and to empower them to optimize their mental health.

My goals for you

I collaborate with my patients to set clear and measurable goals. This is often at the first or second visit, though I ensure a patient is receptive and ready for goal-setting before its initiation. I celebrate wins and re-strategize objectives as indicated.

Our first session

At the initial visit, I ask many questions to get an in-depth overview of your background and experiences. I am interested in your goals and anything that has been effective or ineffective for you in the past. I provide education on treatment modalities, medication options, and therapeutic resources.
