Season's greetings from Thompson Psych NPs. We are grateful to serve the Capital Region community and look forward to continuing that work in the new year.

We are currently accepting a limited number of new clients for:
• Adult Medication Management
• Pediatric & Adolescent Medication Management

Because we match each client thoughtfully with the appropriate provider, new openings are selective and based on specialty area and clinical acuity. At this time, therapy availability is limited, though we will continue to update our community as openings arise.

Thank you for your trust and support. Warmest wishes for a healthy and hopeful holiday season.

Eddie, Bre, & Ashley
