An attending psychiatrist at the Wyoming Behavioral Institute in Casper, Wyoming, Dr. Prypchan specializes in Adult, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. She has more than two decades of experience in psychiatry, beginning as early as adolescence when she conducted psychiatric patient interviews while assisting her father in his psychiatric practice in her homeland, Venezuela.

During this time she worked as a research associate with Matcheri Keshavan, M.D. in the field of schizophrenia, then with Duncan Clark, M.D. in the field of anxiety disorders in children and adolescents with substance abuse at Pittsburgh Adolescent Alcohol Research Center. She then joined Juan Mezzich, M.D. and worked on several World Psychiatric Association projects on Diagnostic Classification Systems in Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh’s Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic.
Dr. Prypchan trained in general psychiatry for three years at the Universidad Central de Venezuela and for four years at Elmhurst Hospital Center/Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, where she was also a fellow for two years in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry.
