Karissa Braden, DNP
Chicago

I use a whole-body and collaborative approach, listening and taking into account my patients' physical, emotional, and spiritual health to help meet their wellness goals. I see the patient-provider relationship as a partnership and enjoy taking the time to educate my patients on new diagnoses, treatment options, etc. so ultimately they can make the right health decision for them. I'm especially passionate about improving mental well-being, women's health, assisting in lifestyle changes, and adolescent care.

How I stay healthy and happy
I enjoy trying new recipes and cooking for friends and family, walks in the city, and barre/pilates classes.
