Psychotherapy in Advanced Nursing: Beyond the Nod with Dr Tess Judge-Ellis
Manage episode 475243036 series 3595363
Dr. Tess Judge-Ellis shares her journey from family nurse practitioner to psychiatric mental health specialist, highlighting the power of nurse-led psychotherapy in rural communities and beyond.
• Starting as a family NP in a town of 1,000 people before adding psychiatric specialization
• Creating accessible mental health services through a designated "counseling room" that reduced stigma
• Using interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) and motivational interviewing to help patients with grief and substance use disorders
• Emphasizing that every nursing encounter has psychotherapeutic potential from the first moment
• Comparing psychotherapy to "physical therapy for the brain" - small exercises that create lasting change
• Advocating for nursing education that strengthens psychotherapy skills beyond medication management
• Addressing barriers including time constraints and reimbursement systems that limit therapeutic interaction
Join our next episode in a few weeks as we continue exploring psychotherapy in nursing practice, including upcoming interviews with nurses who trained directly under Hildegard Peplau!
