About Elessar Psychiatry, PLLC
Katy Alderman, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner | Founder
You’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure this out by yourself. Whether you’re navigating trauma, struggling with dramatic mood shifts, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and depression, focus issues, or sleep problems, I’m here to help you find clarity and relief through mental health treatment.
As Katy Alderman PMHNP-BC, I bring over 16 years of nursing experience — and 9 years as a psychiatric nurse practitioner — supporting clients through a wide range of challenges, including trauma, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and personality disorders (with good insight). My practice focuses on safe, thoughtful, collaborative medication management, and I also offer brief therapy when appropriate, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, supportive therapy, and solutions-focused therapy.
Patient-centered care is the cornerstone of my work. I often describe treatment like a road trip: you’re in the driver’s seat with a destination in mind. I’m in the passenger seat (requesting snacks and DJ privileges), with a roadmap and helping you navigate options. You set the pace and direction — I’m here to support the journey.
I offer flexible scheduling including evenings, weekends and even over lunch to make care more accessible. I use a confidential text line to provide support and answer any questions between appointments. Additionally, I provide telehealth psychiatric services in addition to in person appointments to ensure you can receive support when and where you need it most.
If you’re looking for grounded, respectful, and practical support, I’d be honored to work with you.
Psychiatric Services
Psychiatric Evaluation
The right mental health treatment starts with an accurate diagnosis. Before your first appointment you’ll be asked to complete several forms that will help guide our session. We’ll discuss your history, past treatments, symptoms, and goals to ensure we have a clear understanding of your needs. This collaborative process allows us to establish an accurate diagnosis, so your treatment plan, including our telehealth psychiatric services, is tailored specifically to you, rather than relying on guesswork.
Medication Management
Sometimes medication is necessary to treat mental illness, much like a person with diabetes might require insulin. Safe, evidence-based mental health treatment (through tele-health or in person) can help you feel like yourself again. We’ll monitor your progress, adjust medication when needed, and keep an eye out for side effects to ensure your treatment remains effective, personalized, and guided by proven practices.
Psychotherapy
Therapy is often a vital component of your mental health treatment plan. I utilize psychotherapy techniques including cognitive behavioral therapy, supportive therapy, and solutions-focused therapy to improve mood, alleviate anxiety, and restore healthy sleep. Additionally, I can connect you with a therapist who meets your unique needs for longer-term support through our tele-health psychiatric services.
