Elessar Psychiatry
Compassionate care from the comfort of your home
About Elessar Psychiatry
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 and weekends, to make care more accessible. Additionally, I provide telehealth psychiatric services to ensure you can receive support from the comfort of your home.
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 with Katy Alderman PMHNP-BC, 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. Under the care of Katy Alderman PMHNP-BC, safe, evidence-based mental health treatment through telehealth psychiatric services 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. As Katy Alderman PMHNP-BC, 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 telehealth psychiatric services.
