A mental health nurse practitioner provides individual
and family counseling services. These services
offer an avenue for expressing feelings and a method
for coping with stress. In a supportive and confidential
environment, patients and families can gain insight
into their feelings and relief from their distress.
The primary goals of counseling are:
- relief from symptoms of depression and anxiety
- improved quality of life
- enhanced communication among family members
- more effective pain relief
- education regarding practical stress management
techniques including guided imagery and meditation
- facilitation of shared decision making
- bereavement support
