Denise Crosson is a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. She has been passionate about access to excellent client-centered care since entering practice in 2000. Her first and in some ways favorite position was as a Family Nurse Practitioner at a rural free clinic in Virginia. After completing a post masters Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner program in 2015 she was initially reticent about provision of telehealth services. Dr. Crosson was first introduced to telehealth through a position at a local community service board. Given the large rural service area it made sense, on a practical level, that telehealth would improve both access and convenience for patients and their parents, so she agreed to try it. After doing so she was surprised by how well building rapport and trust worked via telehealth.
Dr. Crosson loves her work with clients and considers it a privilege to work at understanding and supporting their attainment of their own goals for themselves via client-centered therapy and medication management.
