I'm Poincianna Youell, a compassionate and dedicated board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) specializing in the treatment of Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Mood Disorders such as Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, PTSD and OCD. My primary approach to treatment involves medication management complemented by conventional and alternative therapies. With a commitment to providing personalized care, I assist patients in managing stress, navigating life transitions, and addressing complex mental health concerns.
During our sessions, I strive to create a collaborative and supportive environment where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings openly. We'll start by discussing your current concerns and goals in detail, allowing me to gain a comprehensive understanding of your unique situation. Together, we'll explore various treatment options, including medication management, coping strategies, and holistic wellness practices. I'll use motivational interviewing techniques to guide our discussions and empower you to take an active role in your treatment journey.
I have over 10 years experiences as Registered Nurse working with various patient populations included, adolescents, adults, patients experiencing homelessness and substance use. I have life experiences that includes providing care for friends and family members living with various mental health disorders.
I work collaboratively with adolescents, adults, and older adults to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
