About Me
I'm Kris Haukoos, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP). I am nationally board certified and I hold licenses in Florida, Colorado, Iowa, New Mexico, and Washington. I completed my Master of Science in Nursing at the University of Florida and my Post-Masters of Science in Psychiatric Advanced Practice Nursing at Florida Atlantic University.
​
I specialize in treating patients with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). I work with children, teens, and adults. I specialize in the care of children, adolescents, postpartum mental health needs, and in caring for women in menopause. Additionally, I have a passion for working with neurodivergent clients and helping families with special needs students to navigate the IEP and 504 process.
My philosophy is that the client, their family (when applicable) and I are a team. Medication decisions are made in collaboration with the client and are tailored to the client’s specific needs, lifestyle, health status, and their personal concerns. Medication treatment plans are focused on the client’s goals for their mental health.
In my non-working life, I am married to my husband, Dana, and we share three children and a hyperactive Boston Terrier. I enjoy hiking, knitting, road tripping around the U.S., and obsessing over college football.
