“We are here to awaken from our illusion of separateness.”

– Thich Nhat Hanh

Patryce Bak, PMHNP-BC

As a holistic-minded psychiatric nurse practitioner with a background in Reiki and Animism, I consider the complexity of the mystery that is you, when supporting clients in their healing journey. My practice is based on the philosophy that the body’s inherent ability to heal itself can be tapped into with this holistic approach to healing, focused on addressing the needs of mind-body-spirit. My approach to health is rooted in integrative and naturopathic medicine principles. As a psychiatric provider, my toolkit includes conventional pharmacologic and herbal therapies. I support clients by providing medication management, ketamine assisted therapy, natural supplements, talk therapy–including IFS and Brainspotting modalities, and psychedelic medicine integration services.

Healing begins within

My pronouns are She/They and I am attuned to spiritual and somatic aspects of emotional dysregulation. I owe many of my strengths to a diversity of life experience, including having been a child-refugee, an artist, embodying non-duality, and more recently, a two-time cancer survivor. As a result of my own experience of trauma and multiple near-death experiences, I feel a strong calling to being of service to others, and a deep curiosity about consciousness, resilience, meaning-making and ultimate transcendence. In working together, it is my goal to support you in connecting with your essence and to assist you in accessing your inner-healing intelligence. Together, utilizing the MIND-BODY-SPIRIT medicine model, we will potentiate self-healing and lasting transformation.
