Pamela Talbot-Atkinson
I am Pamela Talbot-Atkinson, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I hold both a bachelor's and master's degree from Chamberlain University in Illinois. I have over two decades of experience caring for individuals and families. With over five years of mental health experience, particularly as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I have developed a compassionate, empathetic, and attentive approach to care. I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of children, adolescents, and adults with anxiety disorders, mood disorders, behavioral and personality disorders, ADHD, and Autism. I also provide supportive therapy and refer clients to other specialties and higher levels of care if needed.
I find joy in getting to know the people I care for and helping them live their best life through evidence-based mental health care.
