Psychiatry
I'm Kris Haukoos. I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) and am nationally board certified through the American Nurses Credentialing Center. I am licensed in Florida, Iowa, New Mexico, Idaho, 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, young adults, and clients up to age 60. Child psychiatry services start at age 6. I have additional training in maternal mental health and treatment of postpartum depression and anxiety. 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 and therapy sessions are focused on the client’s goals for their mental health. My therapy approach is Solutions-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Therapy is focused on the clients needs and their goals for their mental health.
In my non-working life, I am a Florida native and live in Mount Dora, Florida. 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.
