Lindsey advertising over 15 years of mental health experience is misleading at best. I met Lindsey in 2022 when she just completed her online education. Lindsey still needed 500 supervised hours with patients in a psychiatric setting to become a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) a title she just received. When my psychiatrist needed to suddenly retire Lindsay took over, she was now in charge of my mental health care and that of three of my friends. Handed a great opportunity, taking over decades of hard work by my Psychiatrist and his patients. Lindsey complained, she wanted to work with children and adolescents. Unfortunately I didn’t fit that bill, luckily she needed experience with adults before taking on vulnerable children unable to verbalize their needs clearly as adults. Not knowing me, Lindsey immediately stopped one medication is and changed the others to fillable every 28 days instead of every 30 days as my insurance required. This was the beginning of many wasted sessions trying to regain my mental stability as Lindsay picked away at it. Why she was causing me unnecessary stress and anxiety, I don’t know. I did tell her this would eventually lead to me not being medicated. I was correct. Playing games with medication’s it was take this and I’ll give you that. Never mind I changed my mind try this. Two of my friends started having problems. Lindsey immediately abandoned them as patients. Both died shortly after. My best friend now deceased I was thrown in a depression. Looking to Lindsey for help she couldn’t provide, she called the police. An officer called me., Both of us confused, I thought she was the one to talk to. I know now Lindsey should not have been in charge of our complex mental health needs (comorbidity). I was next to be abandoned. worse, yet, I could not receive treatment because Lindsey discontinued my medication’s. I moved out of my home, gave up control of my car, finances and locked myself in my mother‘s garage for the next 45 days. Lindsey now agreed to resume my care. It could take as long as six months to get an appointment with a reputable provider so I gladly excepted (my medications). Life back on track I was asked to do a presentation for a nonprofit. A grandiose life goal of mine suddenly coming to fruition. I shared with Lindsey this unbelievable opportunity. I would be kicking off a five day medical conference with a 45 minute presentation in front of 1500 Drs perfusionists, nurses and respiratory therapists from around the world. Tickets a mere $650. Able to invite whoever I wanted, I invited people that would help the presentation and take over if I failed. Sharing in my excitement, Lindsey asked if she could have a ticket in the off chance she could attend. I blurted out no without explanation. I didn’t see her providing mental health care and would have probably viewed her intentions wrong. I think she took my no personally. The presentation went well. I told Lindsey would go through a depression after such an event. We spent the next sessions watching my presentation. Again, I noticed changes to my medication. I asked Lindsay for a treatment plan, like she now advertises. She gave me a smug no, much like I gave her. I had almost 2 years of mental health issues untreated, or made worse. Chronic pain from a neck injury was causing me abnormal pain. I found myself curled up in a ball every night vomiting from pain. I asked in writing for a treatment plan, what her plan was with my medication’s and if she could stop making changes and let me stabilize. I asked if we could spend one session focusing on my mental health. I begged. Our next session Lindsey stopped one medication and added another. After begs for help went ignored…Just one session.. This was the last time, I quit! My neck, so tight the nerve got damaged. My right arm paralyzed since the time of our last visit . Unnecessary changes and stress, why? Lindsey’s Notes on our sessions read I responded well to her treatment making her a PMHNP, leaving me a shell of my former self
