    Wisconsin Access to Care

    Wisconsin's Psychiatric Shortage Is Real — Telehealth Is the Practical Fix

    Access to psychiatric care in Wisconsin depends heavily on where you live. Telehealth removes the geography problem: if you have a phone or a laptop, you have a psychiatric provider.

    What Christine Treats

    Psychiatric Care for the Conditions Wisconsin Patients Search for Most

    One provider, one plan, and a treatment approach that considers your full health picture — not just a symptom checklist.

    ADHD Evaluation & Treatment

    Adult and adolescent ADHD assessment, diagnosis, and ongoing medication management — including presentations that were missed in childhood.

    Anxiety & Panic

    Generalized anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety, and health anxiety, treated with medication management plus practical coping strategy work.

    Depression & Seasonal Depression

    Major depression, persistent low mood, and Wisconsin's long-winter seasonal patterns — evaluated carefully rather than treated by default.

    Medication Management

    Already diagnosed and just need a reliable prescriber in Wisconsin? Consistent refills, monitoring, and adjustments without the waitlist.

    Mood, Trauma & OCD

    Bipolar spectrum conditions, PTSD, and OCD managed with careful monitoring and coordination with any therapist you already see.

    Second Opinions

    If your current plan isn't working, a fresh psychiatric review can identify what has been missed — including medical drivers of mood symptoms.

    About Your Provider

    Dual-Certified in Psychiatry and Family Medicine

    Christine Forge is board certified as both a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and a Family Nurse Practitioner. That dual training matters: thyroid disease, anemia, vitamin D deficiency, perimenopause, and chronic illness can all look like depression or anxiety, and they are often missed when mental health is treated in isolation.

    Appointments are unhurried. You get time to explain what is actually happening, and a plan built around your life rather than a protocol.

    Christine is licensed in Wisconsin, Florida, and Nevada, with full prescribing authority in Wisconsin — including controlled substances when clinically appropriate.
