10 years of experience
Hi! I'm Vanessa, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in Georgia. I received my Masters from an Ivy League, the University of Pennsylvania and have over 10 years of direct patient care/hospital/and behavioral health experience. Haven't felt like yourself lately? I can support your journey to becoming a better you. Life is already hard and I'm here to provide the additional support you need to bring back that spark.
Typically, your first appointment will be about 1-1.5 hours long where I gather information of your current situation, mental health history, medical history, social history, family history and treatment goals to create an individualized treatment plan that works for you. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and participate in your treatment plan.
I've worked with a diverse and wide range in population from pediatrics, adolescence, young adults, adults and geriatrics. Life lessons have strengthen my empathy, passion, motivation and communication style which allows my clients to take charge of their mental health. I believe after every setback is a stronger comeback so working to build resilience is key.
I treat across the life span from children, adolescents and adults with various mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD, and psychotic disorders.
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I provide supportive brief therapy to create a safe space for expression, resilience and therapeutic alliance.
