Our Mission
We believe good mental health is the key to aging well and recovering from physical illness.
Ivy Psychiatry brings complete and preventative mental health care to more people, supporting them in living life to the fullest — no matter their age.
Who We Are
Ivy Psychiatry is a co-practicing community of board-certified psychiatric nurse providers who work collaboratively with psychiatrists.
Our network of providers is expanding access to care for older adults while expanding their independent consulting practice.
This means better, more consistent care for patients and more flexible, better-paying engagements for practitioners — all at no cost to hospitals and nursing homes.
How We Work
We know treating mental health conditions is different for seniors.
Ivy’s psychiatric providers are experts in assessing and treating mental health challenges in older adults.
Working alongside in-house staff, we bring psychiatric care to hospitals and nursing homes that don’t have mental-health specialists.
Ivy’s reliable, compassionate providers reduce administrative needs while increasing regularly scheduled psychiatry visits for patients who need them.
To us, success looks like enhanced patient wellness, reduced hospitalizations, deficiency-free OMH surveys, and a decrease in unnecessary psychotropic medications.
