Frequently Asked Questions
What is a psychiatric nurse practitioner and how are they different from a psychiatrist?
A psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP) is an advanced practice registered nurse with specialized training in mental health. Like psychiatrists, PMHNPs can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. In Maryland, PMHNPs practice under a collaborative agreement with a physician. At The Resource Group, our PMHNPs provide the same core psychiatric services as a psychiatrist in an outpatient setting.
Do I need a referral to see a psychiatric nurse practitioner?
No referral is required to schedule a psychiatric evaluation at The Resource Group. You can call us directly to book an appointment. Some insurance plans may require pre-authorization — we recommend calling your insurance company to confirm your benefits before your first visit.
How long does it take to get an appointment?
New patient appointments are typically available within one to two weeks. Call us at (410) 337-7772 to check current availability.
Will I be on medication forever?
Not necessarily. Some patients benefit from short-term medication during a difficult period, while others manage chronic conditions long-term. Your provider will discuss your options and goals at your evaluation — there is no one-size-fits-all answer.
What if I am already working with a therapist?
We are happy to collaborate with your existing therapist. Coordinated care — where your prescriber and therapist communicate — typically produces better outcomes. If you do not currently have a therapist but would benefit from one, we can also provide referrals within our own practice.
Is telehealth as effective as in-person care for psychiatric services?
For most patients, yes. Telehealth psychiatric appointments have been shown to be as effective as in-person visits for evaluation and medication management. We offer both and are happy to discuss which format works best for your situation.
