About Us - Katherine Jackman, APN
Katherine Jackman is a psychiatric advanced nurse practitioner, board certified by the American Nurses' Credentialing Association in adolescent and adult psychiatry/ mental health. She graduated from Yale University with a bachelor's degree in Sociology in 1998. She then went on to receive both a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Masters of Psychiatric Nursing from Columbia University School of Nursing in New York. Ms. Jackman also has received honors and awards from Mt. Sinai Hospital School of Nursing and Columbia University. She was inducted into the Sigma Theta Tau Nursing Honor Society.
As a nurse practitioner, Ms. Jackman has worked extensively with individuals and their families in outpatient settings dealing with many diverse conditions and disorders including stress, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, low self esteem, crises, school difficulties and OCD.
Focus of Treatment
Ms. Jackman will evaluate each patient as an individual by providing a psychiatric consultation. Relevant medical, social and family history will be reviewed. Specific psychological/ emotional issues that are of concern to the patient will be addressed. Laboratory tests will be ordered if necessary to rule out any medical conditions that may be contributing to symptoms or behaviors for which the patient is seeking help. Psychotherapy will be provided, in conjunction with psychiatric medications if necessary. Like Dr. Rudominer, Ms Jackman is able to treat the “whole patient” with medication and/or psychotherapy as needed. Referrals will be made to medical or psychological specialties as deemed necessary.
Therapeutic Approach
Nurse practitioners view the patient from a holistic, biopsychosocial perspective. An APN has knowledge about your mental health concerns, as well as your physical and social needs. Ms. Jackman integrates an effective mix of therapeutic modalities including medication management in an effort to instill hope and promote recovery and wellness. She offers genuineness, empathy and respect for her patients. These personal traits and treatment modalities add to her excellent fit with Dr. Rudominer’s practice.
