MEET THE PROVIDER
Amy Barnes
Owner, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
Amy (she/her/hers) is a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (APRN, PMHNP-BC). She received both her bachelor’s degree in nursing (BSN) and master’s degree in nursing (MSN) at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. Amy has over 15 years of experience working in mental health, first as an inpatient psychiatric nurse and then as an outpatient board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner.
Amy is passionate about providing care that is patient centered and trauma informed. Her areas of focus include Perinatal Mood Disorders, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Having grown up in a military family and having lived in various places across the country, Amy also holds a passion for treating first responders.
Amy appreciates working with those who are invested in pursuing their own healing journey and are open to a combination of treatment approaches. While there is still much to be learned in treating psychiatric conditions Amy has pursued training in a variety of modalities. She has completed the Level 1 training for the Internal Family Systems therapy model. Through trainings in integrative psychiatry, she has been led to pursue what psychedelic medicine may also offer to those struggling with their mental health. She is currently a research assistant on 2 clinical trials using psilocybin and has been trained through the USONA institute. While psilocybin is not FDA approved nor has it been decriminalized in the state of Nebraska, Amy has decided to offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) while using the foundations from her psychedelic trainings.
A STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE
Expectations
To respect your time, and the time of other clients, please arrive on time for your appointment. We reserve the right to cancel your appointment if you are more than 10 minutes late. Sessions will end on time regardless of when they start. We will reserve the last 5 minutes of the session to document in your chart.
I come from a position of “radical acceptance.” As my client, you are okay who you are, as you are, under your current circumstances. I will affirm this time and again, because I believe it to be true. We are all a work in progress.
I’m not for everyone. That is 100% true, I am not your typical provider, I’m in jeans and tanks with a cardigan most of the time and am not afraid to swear and say it how it is... but probably shouldn’t tell you that – or should I!!
I expect honesty and transparency about your background, your current situation, and what your stuck points are. So many of us suffer because of shame and secrecy – shame thrives in shadows – healing comes when we shine light on these areas.
I expect you to work on your own healing at least as hard as I’m working to help you. I can’t fix you, you are not broken, and medication is not the magic cure, though we all wish it would be. If you’re not willing to work with me to set realistic treatment goals and take steps between visits to work toward those goals, we might not be a good fit.
I ask you to come to me with an open mind about treatment. Treatment looks different for every person – sometimes it involves medication, sometimes it involves therapy, often it involves both. But it always involves trust, mutual respect, and a willingness to stretch, grow, and cultivate change.
I expect to involve your family (or close friends who are like family) in your care. This may be just once or twice, and always with your permission. My past experiences caring for patients who are in severe emotional distress has taught me that the presence (or absence) of family and the insights they can provide about the client help to inform and enrich the care I am able to offer.
