Katharine Church, MSN, PMHNP

Katharine "Selina" Church, PMHNP, is a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 15 years of experience in both mental health and medical nursing. Most recently, she worked at Centennial Peaks Psychiatric Hospital, where she specialized in crisis intervention, assessment, and collaborative treatment planning for a diverse patient population with psychiatric needs. She is committed to delivering effective and person-centered psychiatric treatment.

Although Selina provides medication management, and much of her professional background is in technology and Western healthcare, she is convinced that a holistic approach to mental health is essential. She recommends a treatment plan that incorporates several modalities to support improved well-being and resilience. A balanced treatment plan may include psychotherapy, nutrition, and lifestyle interventions. She herself is a certified yoga teacher, and feels exercise and mindfulness are very helpful for maintaining balance.

Her philosophy towards medication is an individualized regimen for every patient. We all have different reactions to medications and unique goals with our care. Selina likes to collaborate with her patients to carefully consider their history, utilize diagnostic tools, and perform genetic testing to facilitate informed medication choices.

Selina grew up in the UK and has lived in or made extended trips to several countries, including India. She believes these experiences with diverse cultures have helped her be open to different ways of life and points of view, and she always strives to understand the unique situations and aspirations of each patient.
