Hello and welcome! My name is Amanda Blalock, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). With over 6 years of experience in mental health care, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based treatment to individuals seeking support and healing. I hold a PMHNP from Maryville University, where I specialized in psychiatric and mental health nursing. My career has been driven by a deep commitment to helping others navigate the complexities of mental health challenges. I have a vast working in a variety of settings, including hospital, Behavioral health inpatient, outpatient clinics, community health centers, which has provided me with a broad perspective and a wealth of experience in treating diverse populations.
Our first session will be between 1 to 1.5 hours long. I take extensive time getting to know you and working on a treatment plan that is specific to your needs. I believe in a holistic approach to mental health care, recognizing the importance of treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. My practice is rooted in the principles of empathy, respect, and collaboration. I work closely with my patients to create personalized treatment plans that address their unique needs and goals. I use both traditional medication with supplements and a variety of brief therapy approaches.
I strive to bring kindness and compassion into every interaction, genuinely caring for each individual I work with. My greatest strength lies in fostering a safe and supportive environment where you can explore and embrace your potential. I am deeply committed to helping you achieve a balanced, empowered, and resilient life. To me, mental health is not merely the absence of illness but a holistic state of well-being—where you can realize your potential, navigate life's challenges, work productively, and connect meaningfully with your community
