Hello all,

I am a student PMHNP. In my current class, we are to pick a type of therapy to do a presentation on. I am interested what types of therapy practicing PMHNPs use, or find beneficial to be informed about. Below are the options suggested by the professor:

Art therapy, Play therapy, music therapy, supportive therapy, equine therapy, animal therapy, reminiscent therapy, EMDR, psychoanalysis, rational emotive behavioral therapy, behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, internal family systems therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, or any type of family therapy.

Specializes in Maternal - Child Health.
Interesting, I've never seen NPs willing to work as a social worker or facilities being willing to pay us to as such except the NPs who enjoy therapy and own their own practice. Its a waste of facility resources if being done at a hospital and my guess is that NP is not working as an attending but instead as a nurse hybrid without her own patient load or admitting privileges, unfortunate if thats the case.

I was however correct in that therapy doesn't pay NPs. It would make no sense to pay me over $100 an hour to do therapy that a capable LCSWC or LCPC could do for $35 an hour.

Where do you work that LCSW or LCPC bill or are paid $35/hr? In our small Midwestern city, the going rate is $120/hr for Master's prepared therapists and $200 for PhDs.

A family member attends a weekly group where each participant pays $25, bringing in approximately $200 - $300 for a 90 minute session depending upon the number of attendees.

Specializes in Family Nurse Practitioner.

Our LISW and LMFT made $30 something an hour. Insurance covered more then twice that and cash pay was triple that. The practice owner was very very greedy.
