Stanasia Patterson
I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) who provides psychiatric and psychotherapy services in Georgia. I received my Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree from Armstrong State University in 2014 as a licensed Registered Nurse (RN).
My approach is grounded in responsiveness and flexibility ensuring that I'm ready to meet each moment as it comes.
In 2022, I obtained my Master of Science in Nursing degree for Family Psychiatric Mental Health from University of South Alabama. My pursuit for mental health begun during my experience as a RN while caring for patients with mental health concerns along with physical conditions. In that period, I gained an appreciation of mental health and its influence on physical health.
First session
In our first session together, patients should expect a thorough, in-depth comprehensive assessment that entails personal/family history, medical and psychiatric history, and treatment options.
Strengths
One of my greatest strength as a provider is my adaptation. In a constant changing field, I am committed to learning and evolving to meet each clients needs as pathways change. My approach is grounded in responsiveness and flexibility ensuring that I'm ready to meet each moment as it comes.
Ideal clients
I work best with individuals who are open to self-exploration and committed to making positive changes in the lives who are faced with symptoms such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, or sleep disturbances. I am also motivated to serve patients who are looking for a compassionate, practical approach to find stability and relief of symptoms.
Treatment methods
Strength-Based
My experience with Strength-based treatment is an empowering approach that focuses on strengths/resources rather than deficits or problems patients are faced with. Clients are approached with empowerment, collaboration, positivity, resilience, and goal oriented. I use strength-based interviewing by implementing a strength focused assessment, solution-focused techniques, strength-mapping, narrative work, and personalized interventions.
