Stephanie R Lynch
PhD, PMHNP, FNP, RN
Dr. Lynch became a wife and mother first. She pursued her nursing degree at a community college while having and raising children. She did it slowly and steadily, taking 1 to 2 classes at a time. It was the hardest degree she received.
Dr. Lynch worked as an L&D RN for 10 years before moving to NM from NJ. She fell upon the Master’s in Psych as an afterthought, but has never looked back. She has a therapy practice treating all age patients. She considers herself a Nurse-Therapist. She utilizes her practice as a clinical site and precepts the Psych NP students there.
