Better Living Through Chemistry: The Ethical Care and Feeding of Your Local Psychiatric Prescribers – Insights, Controversies, Dialogue and Everything You Wanted to Know
Dr. Chrisitna Vento is a NM prescribing psychologist who began prescribing medications in 2008 at the NM Behavioral Health Institute at Las Vegas after practicing as a clinical psychologist for seven years. She is a former Training Director of the NMSU Post Doctoral Master’s in Clinical Psychopharmacology program and a consulting subject matter expert sharing responsibility for revising and updating the national qualification examination for prescribing psychologists known as the PEP. Her practice has ranged from primary care clinics, community mental health centers, and the Indian Health Service, treating adults and adolescents with medications and integrated solution focused psychotherapeutic interventions. In 2020, she received the American Psychological Association’s Major Carveo Award from Division 55 recognising outstanding public service for prescribing psychologists.
She presents trainings to colleagues locally and regionally on applied practice, diversity and ethical issues around best practices for prescribing medications. Believing that accomplished mental health professionals have already had far too many slides read to them, she utilizes an informal style that encourages active participation, moments of uproarious laughter and thought-provoking questions.
