ABOUT

Provider: Karin Hughes, APRN, PMHNP-BC

Hello, I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of nursing experience, providing integrative psychiatric care. At Eleos Psychiatry, I offer evidence-based psychiatry and medication management with a whole-person approach that addresses both symptoms and root causes of mental health concerns.

My practice blends psychiatric evaluation and medication optimization with lifestyle-based mental health care, including nutrition, sleep optimization, physical activity, stress management, and mind-body practices. I have a special focus on medication optimization and deprescribing, including thoughtful tapering when appropriate—an often overlooked but essential part of long-term mental wellness.

Who Does Eleos Psychiatry Serve?
Eleos Psychiatry provides outpatient psychiatric care and diagnostic assessments for adults age 18 and older, offered through in-person appointments and secure telepsychiatry.

I specialize in the evaluation and treatment of:

ADHD in adults

Insomnia related to mental health conditions
Care is personalized, collaborative, and focused on sustainable improvement in mental health and daily functioning.

Please Note: Eleos Psychiatry does not provide care for children or adolescents, high-acuity or complex psychiatric conditions, substance use disorders, or emergency/crisis situations

Services

Medication Management Psychiatry

Psychiatric medications can be helpful for some individuals as part of a comprehensive mental health treatment plan. At Eleos Psychiatry, I provide evidence-based medication management for adults, with careful, collaborative decision-making based on your symptoms, history, and personal goals.

Medication management appointments focus on improving quality of life and emotional stability while addressing underlying contributors to mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and insomnia. Medications are prescribed only when clinically appropriate and are regularly reviewed and adjusted over time to ensure safe, effective, and personalized psychiatric care.

Individualized Medication Tapering & Deprescribing

Not everyone needs psychiatric medication long term. When reducing or discontinuing medication is appropriate, Eleos Psychiatry offers individualized medication tapering (also known as deprescribing) using a thoughtful, evidence-informed approach.

I specialize in slow psychiatric medication tapering, including hyperbolic tapering principles when indicated, to help minimize withdrawal symptoms and support nervous system stability. Tapering plans are personalized, flexible, and never rushed, with close monitoring to support both physical and emotional well-being throughout the process.

Integrative Psychiatric Care

Eleos Psychiatry provides integrative psychiatric care for adults that combines thoughtful medication managementwith lifestyle-based mental health support. Evidence-based psychiatric interventions are integrated with nervous system regulation, stress management, sleep optimization, nutrition support, and skill-building strategies to promote emotional resilience and long-term mental wellness.

Collaboration with a therapist is encouraged to help address trauma, chronic stress, emotional processing during medication tapering, and other root contributors to mental health concerns. Care is personalized, holistic, and grounded in evidence-based psychiatry.
