Kristina Schaefer

PA-C

Psychiatric PA-C with 15 years of experience in telepsychiatry, medication management, and complex psychopharmacology, caring for the whole person, not just the diagnosis. I focus on mood and anxiety disorders, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and substance use and co-occurring conditions. Good care starts with listening. I want patients to feel comfortable being open about what they’re experiencing, without feeling judged or rushed.

About

Meet Kristina

I’m a board-certified Physician Assistant with nearly 15 years of clinical experience. I completed my Master’s in Physician Assistant Studies at Touro University Nevada in 2011. Over the years I’ve worked in family medicine, urgent care, hospital medicine, and outpatient psychiatry. That range of settings has given me a real appreciation for how closely physical and mental health are connected.

In psychiatry I’ve evaluated and treated patients of all ages with depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health conditions. My work focuses on medication management, patient education, and helping people better understand their symptoms and treatment options.

I believe the most important part of care is simply listening. I try to create a space where patients feel heard and supported, and where we can work together to find an approach that actually feels right for them.
