ABOUT

Provider: Karin Hughes, APRN, PMHNP-BC

Hello! I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of nursing experience, offering integrative, evidence-based psychiatric care.

Services

Individualized Antidepressant Tapering

Not everyone needs to be on antidepressant medication long term. When reducing or discontinuing medication is desired and appropriate, Eleos Psychiatry offers individualized tapering plans (also known as deprescribing) using a thoughtful, evidence-informed approach and collaboration with local compounding pharmacies. Slow, hyperbolic tapering principles are utilized to help minimize medication withdrawal symptoms and support nervous system stability. Tapering plans are personalized and flexible with close monitoring to support both physical and emotional well-being throughout the process.

Medication Management

Medication can be helpful as part of a comprehensive mental health treatment plan to improving quality of life and offer emotional stability while addressing underlying contributors to mental health conditions. Eleos Psychiatry provides evidence-based medication management with careful, collaborative decision-making based on symptoms, history, and personal goals. Medications are prescribed when clinically appropriate and are regularly reviewed to ensure safe, effective, and personalized psychiatric care.

Integrative Psychiatric Care

Evidence-based psychiatric interventions are integrated with nervous system regulation, stress management, sleep optimization, nutrition support, and skill-building strategies to promote emotional resilience and long-term mental wellness. All care is focus on the whole person and grounded in evidence-based psychiatry and life style optimization strategies.

Collaboration with a therapist is encouraged to help address trauma, chronic stress, emotional processing during medication tapering, and other root contributors to mental health concerns.
