My name is Ashley Cunningham. I'm a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I have years of psychiatric and primary health care experience. I am licensed in North Carolina, New York, and Texas, and can see patients in these states. My specialty is medication management, and I can also provide therapy during our sessions. Whether you thinking about medication or therapy, I can assist you with both. I provide patient autonomy, meaning we will be partners and will choose what treatment is best for you.
We will dive deeply and focus on your symptoms during our initial session and collaborate to create a treatment plan. Whether the plan includes medication, therapy, or both, we will make that decision together as partners to improve your symptoms.
I can help you reach your goals of improving your mental health by offering you personalized care, including medication management and therapy. I practice holism, which helps improve patients' physical, mental, and social well-being.
