Welcome! I'm Rebecca Greer. I am a doctoral prepared and board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) (ANCC) and family nurse practitioner (FNP) (AANP). I received my family nurse practitioner master's degree in nursing from the University of Detroit Mercy (UDM) in 2015, my doctor of nursing practice from UDM in 2020, and my psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner post master's certificate/degree from the University of Michigan in 2021. My experience includes being a registered nurse for 20 years and a nurse practitioner for a total of 9 of those 20 years. I have practiced primarily in child and adolescent psychiatry since January 2019 but also have experience treating adults.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we will meet and start getting to know one another. We will talk about the challenges and concerns you are experiencing. I will also discuss a full history, from birth to the present. This will help us, together, come up with strategies and develop a treatment plan that will best address your needs.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Working over the last 20 years I have gained vast experience . I not only have a strong background working in mental healthcare, but I also have a strong background in emergency medicine, urgent care, and primary care. In my practice I use all of this experience to look at 'the whole picture' and not just what someone is presenting with at that moment. I investigate beyond the obvious and consider how physical health, environment, family history, and other factors may contribute to the current presenting problem. Also, I myself am a mother of 6 and have encountered some of the same challenges with some of my own children. I have been on both sides of the fence, as a provider and a parent, and empathize with what you are experiencing.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Though I do treat individuals of all ages, my passion lies in treating children and adolescents. Many children struggle with mental health conditions, such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and more, but this population tends to be underserved in mental healthcare. The families of these children also often struggle and don't know where to turn. These children and families need support and guidance to get through difficult times.
