Jamica Taylor
As a dedicated psychiatric nurse practitioner, I have over 17 years of experience in the healthcare field. My practice offers mental health education and medication (if desired) for each patient based on your unique needs. If your goal does not include medication, no worries. I believe in a holistic approach to mental wellness, including education to improve daily life and overall wellness. ******************CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES Policy Notice***********************
I believe in a holistic approach to mental wellness, including education to improve daily life and overall wellness.
To help you make an informed decision BEFORE BOOKING AN APPOINTMENT, I want to share my policy regarding controlled substances. I rarely prescribe CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES. This includes stimulants (such as Adderall, Ritalin, Vyvanse, Concerta, Focalin, amphetamines, and methylphenidates) or SEDATIVES/HYPNOTICS (Ambien, Lunesta, etc.) for sleep. I do not prescribe benzodiazepines (such as Xanax, Valium, Klonopin, and Ativan) for anxiety/sleep. If we complete an assessment and determine that stimulants are an appropriate part of your treatment plan, please note the following requirements: In-Person Visits: In-person visits will be required at my office in Memphis, TN (West Tennessee). Monitoring: Periodic drug screenings and/or cardiac clearance may be required. I appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience these safety protocols may cause.
First session
During our first session, my primary focus is to listen to your needs and goals in order to provide the best care for you. I understand that rapport and trust are built over time. I will ensure a safe space for you to start or continue your mental health journey. *** Your INTAKE FORM provides very important information. I use these forms to ensure that I can offer the services and/or medication you need. Please complete your intake form within 24 hours of your first appointment, or your appointment will be cancelled with an option to reschedule at a later date.
Strengths
I take time to listen and truly understand my patients. I do not rush education, diagnosis, or medication management. I also believe in treating patients holistically with all aspects of wellbeing in mind.
Ideal clients
I have extensive experience across multiple areas of mental health. My areas of expertise include the treatment of depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder in adolescent, adult, and elderly patients. My practice is inclusive and welcoming to all patients regardless of race, sex, gender, religion, nationality, or sexual preference. I take time to listen to any questions or concerns to develop a personalized treatment plan for each patient's needs. *** I DO NOT PRESCRIBE BENZODIAZEPINES (Ativan, Klonopin, Xanax, Valium, etc.) for anxiety or SEDATIVES/HYPNOTICS (Ambien, Lunesta, etc.) for sleep. I only prescribe non-controlled medications for anxiety and insomnia.
