OVERVIEW

DR KAREN DECOCKER

Dr KAREN DECOCKER DNP, PMHNP, CNM, is a PSYCHIATRIC MENTAL HEALTH NURSE PRACTITIONER

Director of Advanced Practitioners at Stella Center

Hello, I'm a certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and the Director of Advanced Practice Providers at Stella Center. I am a Rush University graduate, and my doctoral degree was earned at Frontier Nursing University. I specialize in identifying innovative medical treatments and virtual therapies that can help relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD & OCD. As the head of the assessment team, my main responsibility is overseeing as well as conducting the virtual intake assessments. Based on the medical, biological, psychological, and social factors of the patients’ history, we will come up with individualized treatment recommendations across advanced protocols, including the dual sympathetic reset (an advanced stellate ganglion block), Spravato (esketamine), ketamine infusion therapy, …transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), integration therapy, and more.

Stella Center

Data Transparency and Trust: Understanding WebMD Doctor Listings and Reviews

We know that finding the right doctor or provider is important to your health. That’s why we want to ensure you have confidence in the provider profiles and listings you see on WebMD Care. Our provider data is sourced from the physicians themselves as well as publicly available databases. Any doctor or provider who claims their profile by verifying themselves can update their information and provide additional data on their specialties, education, accepted insurances, conditions they treat, and procedures they perform.

All the physician and provider reviews on WebMD Care are provided by users just like you. Knowing these reviews provide insight into how other patients feel about a doctor, we maintain internal policies and protocols to ensure the quality and accuracy of all reviews. Providers are not able to remove or modify reviews on their own. Reviews can only be removed after an internal review by our customer service team.

We value your input and encourage you to reach out to our support team if you encounter any issues.
