MEET KATIE

I am so happy you are here. My name is Katie Padberg and I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) in St. Louis, Missouri. 

I assess, diagnose, and treat various mental health conditions for individuals of all ages throughout Missouri. My work involves gathering information about your psychiatric history, conducting mental health assessments, and developing personalized treatment plans. Treatment primarily involves medication management with supportive discussion, as well as referrals to therapy or other resources as needed.

Feeling comfortable and understood is an essential aspect of the therapeutic process.  My aim is to foster an environment in which you feel listened to and respected for all parts of who you are. 

Overall, my goal is to support patients in achieving optimal mental health, enhancing their quality of life, and helping them develop coping strategies to manage their conditions effectively.d encourage adherence to treatment. I know from firsthand experience that with the right treatment, there is hope and things can get better.  I would love to meet you and help you get there.
