SCOOPE OF CARE

Brandon Kruse, PMHNP, FNP

Embrace Psychiatry is led by Brandon Kruse a dual board-certified Nurse Practitioner who provides structured outpatient psychiatric care for adults through secure Telehealth. His work is grounded in thoughtful evaluation, sound clinical judgment, and an emphasis on continuity, so care feels steady, intentional, and responsive over time.

Brandon founded Embrace Psychiatry for individuals who want more than brief, transactional appointments. His approach prioritizes careful listening, clear treatment planning, and ongoing collaboration, allowing patients to feel supported while maintaining well-defined clinical standards. Care is designed to be professional, reliable, and centered on helping patients move forward with clarity and confidence.

Medication management is approached thoughtfully and, when clinically appropriate, may be integrated with supportive therapeutic interventions during visits. This allows care to address both symptom management and broader clinical considerations within a single, consistent treatment relationship. Follow-up care is an essential component of this model, supporting safety, effectiveness, and continuity over time.

Care is provided exclusively via secure telehealth and delivered in accordance with state licensure requirements. This framework allows for accessible psychiatric care while maintaining professional standards, clear boundaries, and a focus on long-term clinical stability.

How Brandon Practices

Integrated Care Approach

When clinically appropriate, psychiatric medication management may be combined with elements of supportive therapy during appointments. This integrated approach allows care to address both symptom management and the broader challenges affecting mental well-being.

Therapeutic support is used to complement medical treatment, not replace it, and is tailored to the individual needs and goals of each patient.

Scope of Practice

Brandon provides general adult outpatient psychiatric care within a defined clinical scope. Services are offered exclusively via Telehealth and are designed for individuals who can engage consistently in scheduled appointments.

Certain specialized areas of care or treatment frameworks may fall outside the scope of services offered at Embrace Psychiatry. When appropriate, referrals to other providers may be recommended to ensure patients receive care aligned with their needs.

Professional Standards & Continuity

Care is guided by established clinical standards, including regular reassessment, responsible prescribing practices, and clear boundaries around communication and follow-up. This structure supports safe, ethical, and effective psychiatric care over time.

Patients who value professionalism, transparency, and a steady approach to treatment often find this model to be a strong fit.

Military Background

Brandon brings a background as a former Army officer to his work in psychiatric care. His military experience informs a practice style grounded in accountability, consistency, and clear expectations, while maintaining respect for individual circumstances and clinical nuance. This foundation supports a calm, steady approach to care that values preparation, follow-through, and thoughtful decision-making within a structured clinical framework.
