 Patricia G.
Korn, APRN, Board Certified
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
My name is Trish Korn, and I am very pleased to have my practice
located at the Life Guidance Center. I have been a registered nurse
for 25 years. I graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware
Ohio in1984 with my BSN in Nursing. I started my nursing career in
Columbus, Ohio working for approximately 4 years in medical, trauma,
surgical, and open heart critical care. From there, I spent 16 years
working in high risk labor and delivery, well-baby nursing, and
childbirth education at The Ohio State University, Northwestern
University Hospital in Chicago, and twice serving as Interim
Director of Women’s Services at East Cooper Regional Medical Center
in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.
In all aspects of nursing, you deal with psychiatric issues; I
graduated with my MSN in Psychiatric nursing in 2000. I began
working solely in psychiatry at the Institute of Psychiatry/MUSC in
2003. I worked in ECT, general adult psychiatry, alcohol and drug
detox/rehab, and psychiatric consult liaison nursing. I was board
certified as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner in 2006,
and entered private practice.
Because of my strong medical background, I offer holistic care. I
see my patients as mind, body and soul. I start where my patients
are with their issues. I feel the most important aspect of any
therapy is the therapeutic relationship I develop with my patients.
Therefore, an honest, open, trusting place is established where
patients can feel safe to express what they need to at any given
time.
I start with a thorough psychiatric evaluation. With the patient’s
input, we decide on therapy and/or medication management. I
specialize in treating patients with depression, anxiety disorders
(with an expertise in treating panic disorder with or without
agoraphobia), relationship problems, and issues such as loneliness,
illness, trauma, and other chronic concerns we all deal with in
life.
I genuinely look forward to offering my services to those in need.
Please contact me for more information.
