"I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) continuing to build upon my 7+ years of experience in a variety of psychiatric and behavioral healthcare settings. As an Iowa native and someone who feels so passionately about mental health, I am beyond excited to foster accessible care through telepsychiatry services across the state of Iowa, as well as Minnesota and soon New York. At this time, I provide services in Iowa and Minnesota via telepsychiatry and am also a licensed and residing provider in the state of New York. My treatment approach utilizes aspects of CBT, complementary therapies, and the mindset that medication is a tool, not the solution. A mental health diagnosis by no means defines an individual, it simply helps conceptualize a current level of understanding of the patient's presenting symptoms and circumstances and is meant to be refined to best attain the supports and services needed for optimal outcomes and long-term success.

When the recommended medication is started, most people are happy with the results because they start feeling better.  Most patients will experience an improvement in whatever target symptoms ultimately lead them to get treatment in the first place.

Dr. Paul's style is direct, straightforward, and compassionate. When Dr. Paul first starts to work with a patient she tries to understand what exactly they are feeling and what exactly are their symptoms; in their own words. She will try to get the patient to describe as best as they can what they are feeling without interrupting them. One of Dr. Paul’s best traits is that she is a very good listener.

Dr. Paul received her medical training from St. Luke's -Roosevelt Hospital Center Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. She contributes a great deal of her knowledge of psychiatry care from the years she spent working in the psychiatric emergency room in the heart of New York City during her residency training. Outside of private practice, gardening and reading are activities she finds enjoyable and relaxing. She encourages patients she works with to find and use different hobbies, activities and interests as a therapeutic outlet.

Specializing in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Residency training at Cornell and Columbia Universities in New York City. I practiced in New York then shifted to the vast Hollywood entertainment world but never abandoned my specialty skills as a Child Psychiatrist. I believe that there is an inherent therapeutic value in all entertainment something I call the Coefficient of Entertainment (COE) and with today's technology you can assign a value to that COE. Some entertainment has better therapeutic value than another. Amazing right! And some Hollywood brands have better value than non-brands. I also believe that your movements are intimately linked to emotions and cognition and being in control of your body (domains) is a way to control and master emotions and cognition. "Introjection or mirroring both consciously and unconsciously are two tools we use in managing our body movements even balancing your baseline of anxiety&depression symptoms so managing your life better"....Dr MOOVES
