Ben Franzen APRN
I am a psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who has been serving Nebraska since 2022. Born and raised in Nebraska, I am glad to have returned to my home state after completing my education. I strongly believe that the best way to treat patients is to act as a partner and member of the team committed to each patients health and wellness. I always try to offer patients choices for medications and treatments based on my knowledge and expertise while also considering input from each patient regarding what is important to them regarding their healthcare so we can make treatment decisions together.
I schedule longer appointments with my patient's to allow for discussion of medications as well as allowing time for problem focused therapy if appropriate. I never want a patient to feel like they barely 'saw' me and did not have a chance to speak for what they feel is and isn't working in their treatment. My goal is to help each patient become happier and healthier and to feel that I am a trusted and valued partner on the journey to wellness.
Ben's practice style
My aim is to treat patients holistically and consider how all aspects of life including work and relationships impact patients mental health problems and vice versa. People are not just a list or group of symptoms and I do my best to consider all factors when offering treatment choices. I try to avoid the use of unnecessary medications in treatment of patients to reduce the risk for side effects.
