About Me
Elizabeth Spence is a psychiatric nurse practitioner based in Minot, North Dakota offering psychiatric care for children and teens, adults and older adults. She specializes in medication management alongside psychotherapy, treating conditions including anxiety, depression and ADHD, bipolar disorder and OCD, PTSD and more.
Elizabeth takes a holistic approach that goes beyond prescriptions and weaving mindfulness, lifestyle supports and evidence based therapy into personalized care.
Holistic Psychiatry
Elizabeth’s core clinical focus is integrated psychiatric care that combines medication management with psychotherapeutic and lifestyle based interventions. With roughly 17 to 18 years of healthcare experience and graduate level training through Walden University, she brings a well rounded background to complex psychiatric needs across the lifespan.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness based cognitive therapy, motivational interviewing and compassion-focused techniques. Sessions are collaborative and person centered, helping clients address root cause patterns while building practical tools like breathing techniques, behavioral strategies and structured coping skills alongside any indicated medication support.
Care Across Ages
Elizabeth works with individuals across a wide age range, from children and adolescents through seniors and includes LGBTQ+ affirming care among her specialties. This broad scope, combined with both in person and telehealth availability, makes her a versatile option for families and individuals seeking continuity of psychiatric care.
