Meet Helen Caldwell DNP, PMHNP
With almost two decades of experience in healthcare, I bring a wealth of knowledge and dedication to my practice. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from the University of Portland and gained invaluable experience working at the Portland Veteran’s Affairs Medical Center and Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU). In 2020, I earned a Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) with a specialization as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) from OHSU.
​
Since graduating, I have worked full-time in outpatient clinics, providing care for individuals with a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, posttraumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. I am also experienced in advanced treatment modalities such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and ketamine therapy for treatment-resistant depression, ensuring comprehensive and innovative care for my patients.
Our Services
At Center Psychiatry, we offer a range of specialized services to address various mental health needs.
Psychiatric Evaluations
During your initial psychiatric evaluation, we'll discuss your current mental health concerns, medications, history of previous treatments and physical health history. We will discuss clinical impressions with you, including whether your experiences meet diagnostic criteria for any mental health conditions. Together, we'll develop a treatment plan to address your concerns.
During your psychiatric medication management follow up appointments we will discuss your progress and adjust your medication in order to achieve the best effect with the least amount of medication. Psychotherapy techniques will be incorporated into each session.
