Ana Ahrens, ARNP

I was sent to her by my insurance after I had been recently hospitalized for self injury. My dad didn't have long to live she told me that I need to mourn him before he died.and if I didn't deal with those feelings now then when he did pass the self injury would just get worse .and I be in and out of the hospital and finally would be commited to a hospital for 3 months and just be come another statistic .

Ana is a consummate professional. I refer many of my patients to her for psychiatric medication needs. She has been immensely helpful to them, and they have all given me positive feedback about their work with her. She understands addictions, too, which means she isn't hasty to prescribe medications that will be harmful to patient care, and likewise she is not quick to dismiss them either, as drug-seeking. I'm grateful to have her as a referral source. I continue to refer patients to her.

I was agoraphobic when I met Ana. I had panic/anxiety attacks and lived with major depression. I started therapy when I was 14 and met Valium when I was 21. I had been hospitalized twice for psychiatric treatment ten years apart (ages 28 & 38). When I was 50 I lost my job and because of psychological issues could not find work. I filed for SS disability and won 3 years later. In 3 months, Ana found the perfect combo of meds for me. In a year, I was out of the house and happy. I owe Ana my life.
