As a psychiatrist, I’ve been impressed by the quality of Claire’s educational content with Stress Free Psych NP. She has an exceptional ability to explain complex psychopharmacology in a clear, organized, and clinically relevant way while emphasizing evidence-based decision-making and sound clinical reasoning. I work with many Psych NPs and her Crash Course is thoughtfully designed and provides practical, high-yield education for PMHNPs looking to strengthen their confidence and clinical skills. I believe it is an outstanding educational resource.

I genuinely loved this course and am so glad my colleague recommended it! Claire has a way of making psychopharmacology feel much less overwhelming by explaining everything in a clear, practical, and relatable way. I walked away feeling more confident in my prescribing decisions and would absolutely recommend this course to any PMHNP.

4 stars- the content is basic but useful- especially for new PMHNPs (and anyone precepting students). The template prints nicely although do not expect instant downloading to kindle or other similar sites as there is a bit of a process that was initially concerning to me - as is anything purchased from a social media website- however the owner of this site immediately contacted me offering her assistance with my purchase- for that I’m grateful- RECOMMEND

I have found the Stress Free Psych NP resources to be incredibly supportive and valuable. The integration of classroom learning, a collaborative community, access to outside specialists, and readily available office hours has significantly enhanced my understanding and confidence in applying clinical skills. It has also helped me think more intentionally about my approach to psychiatry by providing a wide range of practical, high-quality learning resources. Being part of a community of psychiatric nurse practitioners at varying levels—from novice to experienced—has been especially meaningful. It creates a space where others truly understand the realities of daily practice, and where support is offered without judgment. Members are consistently willing to share knowledge, offer guidance, and help one another grow. I am truly grateful to be part of such a supportive and enriching professional community.

This is an excellent program for new psych NPs or students looking to breakdown diagnoses and treatment decisions in a clear way that is evidence-based. I really enjoyed this program and think the information I have gained from it will continue to be invaluable to my practice!

I have been a PMHNP for 5 years and FNP 15 and this course taught me about newer trends in medications as well as reminded me of basic things I have forgotten along the way

A worthwhile basics and more review that reiterates and solidifies all things post graduation. Excellent reference sheets provided, including LABS, and a spot to ask questions you might feel embarrassed to ask elsewhere

As an FNP, I will say that Stress Free Psych NP's Mental Disorders Crash Course is a MUST for family practice providers. This is a fantastic boot camp for new grad PMHNPs, but in a healthcare climate where psych conditions are incredibly common, primary care needs to brush up and learn whenever possible, and this is a great resource for doing that.

Claire's masterclass was so helpful for my practice and includes so many resources that I check regularly! Access to her community has been truly amazing for me. She consistently responds to my questions almost immediately or at least within a day, and her staff and other community members are active on there as well- which is so helpful because I can hear different perspectives from different providers with various psych backgrounds (for example, some who specialize in substance use and others who are really good at treating bipolar disorder, etc). Claire is also just the kindest human being ever and is always so sweet and enthusiastic about helping. Highly recommend her services to anyone needing support!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beginning my first position as a MAT provider was made easier and was a more coherent process with the thorough and precise charting by my predecessor, Claire Ellerbrock, DNP.  Her detailed, yet condensed charting was on point, and allowed me a clear picture of my acquired patients that made the transition in providers nearly seamless.
