I have been a registered nurse for 29 years and have been practicing as an APRN for 10 years. I am a compassionate, self-motivated, clinically sound provider who takes pride in delivering quality care while establishing excellent rapport and partnerships with my patients. Compassion and clinical competence have earned me the respect of many patients, families, physicians and co-workers. Over the years, patient reviews have described my nursing skills as outstanding and my care delivery as honest, encouraging, compassionate and direct. Collaborating physicians describe me as a valuable asset and a strong provider of direct patient care. I strive to continuously improve patient communication while working with patients to promote mental health and wellness by providing support therapy, brief psychotherapy and evidence based psychopharmacological management.
“I changed to Karen Fields after a therapist I had fell asleep on me and never remembered what I said. With Karen, I feel heard. Not just heard in a manner of just listening but active thoughtful listening. With that, I am provided practical strategies that challenge my way of thinking and leads me to positive change. She is relatable, intuitive, and insightful. Also, there are flexible options for appointments, virtual or in-person. I highly recommend.”
Claudyn Eguia, FNP-C, is a nurse practitioner at Relief Mental Health in Northbrook, IL, specializing in adult depression treatment. She focuses on administering SPRAVATO®, an FDA-approved intranasal ketamine for treatment-resistant depression or major depressive disorder with suicidal thoughts.
I serve as Chief Medical Officer at Relief Mental Health. I am a board-certified neuropsychiatrist, quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) diplomat, and an accomplished, executive-level medical administrator.
I am passionate, caring, and dedicated to the study of brain sciences. I draw on my knowledge and experience to find the best solution for each of my patients.
I specialize in the treatment of depression, OCD, and other mental health conditions. Using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in conjunction with state-of-the-art diagnostics, psychedelic therapy (SPRAVATO® esketamine nasal spray or IV ketamine), and other collaborative interventions, I have a track record of outstanding results.
I develop and apply a proprietary method of medication selection, and strongly believe that Deep TMS technology is highly effective in the treatment of psychiatric conditions, especially in cases where traditional methods have failed or proved an inadequate level of relief.
