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

🎄 The Thompson Psych NPs’ Christmas Wish Lists Are In! 🎄

Santa, brace yourself—our team’s been very specific this year:

🎁 Eddie: A year’s supply of Celsius to keep the energy flowing, a magical organizer that works, therapy for an Amazon shopping habit, and a GPS tracker for his keys (and maybe his sanity).

🎁 Anna: Matching racing suits for her corgis, tickets to the Monaco Grand Prix (paddock passes required!), and a pit crew to help her handle holiday baking.

🎁 Bree: A cat tree that doubles as a therapy couch and a crown for being the reigning "Teen Whisperer" and the nicest person at the practice.

What’s on your Christmas list this year? Drop it in the comments below—we promise Santa’s listening!

From Eddie, Anna, Bree, and all of us at Thompson Psychiatric NPs, here’s to a holiday season full of joy, laughter, and just the right amount of chaos. Happy Holidays! 🎅✨
