I am Dr.Doris Council, a nurse practitioner with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice in Psychiatric Mental Health. I am also a board-certified family nurse practitioner. My initial startup as an advanced practice nurse was as a family nurse practitioner and my job entails caring for patients across lifespan from Pediatrics to Geriatrics. This experience revealed how the mind and body connection is often undermined. As a result, I was propelled to get my Doctorate in nursing in psychiatric mental health to be able to appropriately bridge this gap in care. Now as a psychiatry mental health provider, caring and meeting the needs of patients with mental and psychological disorders has become my passion, and this is my mission to provide hope and positive quality outcomes and experiences to those with psychological needs and mental disorders.
