Introduction
Kara Johnson is a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner who offers a supportive presence during times of acute distress. She helps her patients through supportive therapy and medication management, as well as building coping skills and recognizing signs to reduce the chances of being hospitalized again.
“I try to really understand the person as an individual, their own goals for mental health, and their own experiences with it,” Kara says. “I want my patients to leave with the ability to live more functional lives.”
Kara enjoys exploring the outdoors, camping, and reading.
