Christopher Viagrande MS, APRN, NPP-BCMY APPROACHI began my professional career roughly 15 years ago and my personal journey 40 years ago. The son of a very successful physician and first born in my family, I set out to make my own kingdom. At the age of 19 I was diagnosed with depression, anxiety and ADHD combined. I was treated with medications and talk therapy and eventually found this to be my calling. Fast forward I was stabilized and finished graduate school with a 4.0 GPA in 2010. I found along the way various providers whom I emulated and became mentors to me in my adult life and professional career. I learned insight into how and why I came to be as a person which gave me the tools to begin treating other people, the way I would want to be treated. I became very good at psychotropic medication management and can offer those in need almost immediate relief where warranted. To this day I offer the same access, insight and symptom relief that was offered to me so many years ago …and do such with passion!I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 13 years of clinical experience and 40 years personal experience in the field. I trained in the Yale Surgical ICU, giving me a sound foundation in internal medicine. I combine this with a specialization in psychopharmacology in my approach with clients.First, we'll quickly get your symptoms under control with psychotropic medication management.
