Summary of strengths:

I understand my responsibilities and know how to set attainable goals for myself. I have a propensity of being goal oriented in my everyday life, and thus it is not difficult to use this practice professionally. I identify my areas of weakness strengths and work toward an applicable balance. I am committed to treating psychiatric disorders in individuals and groups through psychotherapy and medication. I focus on the requirements and scope of practice for PMHNPs. The practicality of communicating with multidisciplinary teams involves using verbal, non-verbal, and written forms.
