If this is you, we can work together to create a plan to help you get back on track in life. A plan to help you feel less anxious, depressed, lonely and to reduce the fatigue from the struggles you experience. Hello! I'm Ebony Peterson, a psychiatric nurse practitioner. I help individuals with mental health symptoms manage those symptoms mentioned above. I utilize an integrative approach that focuses on the mind, body and soul to teach each individual I treat, to develop a stronger and improved relationship with themself. I understand that seeking psychiatric services can feel scary but you wouldn't be here if your intuition hadn't led you here. I'm glad that you're here and have decided to take your first steps towards healing. I'm excited to be on this journey with you helping you to overcome what has been holding you back.

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

During the first session, I will complete an evaluation discussing your life history, medical history, psychiatric history and current symptoms you are experiencing. After the initial session, we will work together to develop a plan of treatment that is most suitable for your needs. Thereafter, we will follow the plan we set and make adjustments as necessary for you to be a healthier you.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I utilize evidenced-based treatment modalities such as CBT, motivational interviewing and DBT.

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

I am a relational-based prescriber. I use a conversational style approach to help you feel comfortable and at ease. My communication skills are beneficial for you because I help you to understand your symptoms and the course of treatment we are embarking. I've been a prescriber for 7 years and have had the opportunity to specialize not only in psychiatric care but oncology, urgent care, and family practice. I believe my array of expertise can help you on this journey.
