From Surviving to Thriving — Together

Hi, I’m Katrina Hockey, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, and I’m so glad you’re here. I’m the founder and sole provider at ThriveLine: Telepsychiatry & Mental Wellness, PLLC. I started ThriveLine because I wanted to offer something different from the rushed, transactional medication management so many people have experienced. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported — where psychiatric care is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to you.

Think of ThriveLine as the passenger seat while you take the wheel — I’ll help guide the way, but you’re in control of your journey from surviving to thriving.

My Journey

I began my nursing career in 2013, working in correctional and community-based settings with a strong focus on mental health. Those years shaped my deep commitment to underserved and vulnerable populations, and gave me firsthand experience with how trauma, stigma, and systemic barriers affect mental health.

In 2021, I became a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Since then, I’ve focused exclusively on telepsychiatry, helping adults across Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. In total, I bring over a decade of nursing experience — with more than four and half years as a PMHNP — to my practice.

Along the way, I pursued advanced training in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International, and developed special interests in co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, ADHD, mood disorders, and trauma-related conditions.

My Approach to Care

At ThriveLine, care isn’t “just prescriptions.” I believe healing is most effective when it’s:

Collaborative & Patient-Centered — your voice is the most important one in the room.
Holistic & Integrated — I weave supportive strategies into medication management, such as CBT-informed skills, motivational interviewing, and psychoeducation.
Connected & Team-Oriented — I collaborate with therapists, primary care providers, and case managers to help build a strong, supportive “village” around you.
Ethical & Trauma-Informed — I don’t believe in overprescribing or using medication as a band-aid. Medications are tools to help stabilize symptoms and open space for the deeper therapeutic work that leads to lasting recovery.

Too often, people feel like they’re shuffled through 15-minute med checks with no room to tell their story. At ThriveLine, evaluations are thorough, visits are longer, and treatment is personalized. I want you to leave each session feeling heard, understood, and with a plan that makes sense for your life.

I founded this practice exists because I believe people deserve more than survival. Together, we’ll work toward thriving — on your terms, in your timing, with support that honors your humanity.

Outside of Work

Life outside of ThriveLine is full and grounding. I share life in rural Maine with my husband, my 16-year-old stepdaughter, our 3-year-old son, and our dog, Vito (a spirited standard-size Mexican Hairless). I was born and raised in Canada and am now a proud dual citizen of Canada and the United States — my roots in both places have shaped my values of resilience, connection, and community.

I enjoy playing outside with my son, cooking, baking, reading, and unplugging to take in the simple things. Hiking mountains has always been a passion — there’s something profound about pushing yourself to the limit and being met with empowering views — even if these days, family life keeps most of my climbs closer to home. In the winter, you’ll often find me sledding down the hill on our property, and in the summer, swimming at our camp.

I find taking in the beauty of nature — in every season — deeply grounding.

Katrina believes in the importance of balance and emotional well-being — both for patients and clinicians. Vito helps her stay grounded and present, often inspiring the practice’s gentle approach to mental health.

Our Happy Patients

I’ve been with Katrina for over 2 years, the longest I’ve stayed on track since my problems started 30 years ago. She is the first person who was patient, understanding, and consistent enough for me to follow through. I’ve gone from a shut-in to getting certified in a field I chose—something I never had the stability to accomplish. If you’re tired of cycling through professionals, she is the best.

Katrina is an amazing doctor who listens to my needs. She was very thorough in figuring out everything going on with me. She even took her own time to help with an issue that occurred when I went to do my labs. I am so glad I was directed to her; I wouldn’t want it any other way. I highly recommend her to anyone.

— Nicholas W.

Katrina is amazing! She is one of the best and I am so glad I ended up with her. I don’t honestly know what I would do without her. She has improved my life so much. I deeply appreciate all she has done for me and would highly recommend her.

— Nicci

I had given up on finding a doctor that listens and doesn’t just throw meds at you. So I was not expecting anything different when I had my first appointment with Dr. Hockey. She listened and looked up meds before giving them to me. Thanks to her research and understanding, I am feeling better than I have in 20 years. If you’re looking for an understanding and committed doctor, she is what you’re looking for.

— Kimberly S.

Katrina has been so much help. She has a very caring attitude and actually listens. She knows everyone is different and has given options tailored to my unique circumstances. I’m continually getting better under her care and highly recommend her to anyone who feels like they’re at a standstill.

— Gus

Katrina is so helpful. I feel comfortable sharing with her and couldn’t ask for more. She listens and truly cares about us all. She explains everything and answers all my questions about my meds. She has helped me so much in my recovery, and I’m so grateful to have her as my doctor.
