Your Nurse Practitioner at Still River Psychiatry
My name is Chris Koch, and I’m a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and proud owner of Still River Psychiatry. I graduated from Nova Southeastern University with my master’s in nursing and earned my license to practice psychiatry as a nurse practitioner. I believe mental health care should feel welcoming and approachable. That’s why I blend evidence-based practice with practical strategies that fit your everyday life. My background in psychiatric nursing has shaped my thoughtful, collaborative approach to care. My practice is open to children ages 10 to 17 as well as younger to middle-age adults. I value open conversation, practical solutions, and making sure you feel heard and involved in your treatment. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring the outdoors and spending time with my dog, Benny. I also play DnD in my free time and love to enjoy a nice mountain bike ride.
