PMHNP, 2 years of experience
I am Pamela Talbot-Atkinson, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over two decades dedicated to caring for individuals and families. With five years of experience in the mental health field, particularly as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I have developed a compassionate, empathetic, and attentive approach to care. 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. I pursued a career as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner to combat the stigma surrounding mental health, to educate clients on the equal importance of mental and physical health, and to combat the lack of access to mental health care by offering collaborative telehealth services. I hold both a bachelor's and master's degree from Chamberlain University in Illinois.
At our initial meeting, I will provide a brief introduction about my myself and get to know more about you, while establishing a positive therapeutic relationship. This approach facilitates the collaborative development of a treatment plan that aligns with your individual goals and expectations.
My background equips me to deliver personalized care tailored to my client's needs, promoting beneficial results. I am a proponent of establishing therapeutic relationships with clients and practicing active listening, which I believe are essential in devising a treatment plan that is comprehensive, patient-focused, personalized, and dedicated to delivering high-quality care for positive client outcomes.
I have a passion for helping children, adolescents, and adults who are dealing with anxiety, mood, developmental, and behavioral disorders, aiding them in overcoming obstacles and leading fulfilling lives.
My approach to treatment is both individualized and holistic, integrating medication management with supportive therapy to cater to my clients' needs. This method encompasses psychoeducation, active listening, validation, empathy, problem-solving, and cognitive-behavioral therapy, enabling me to empower my clients. It encourages them to be proactive and involved in their treatment decisions, which fosters high-quality care and positive client outcomes.

She was a great listener and always took my concerns seriously. She was also great at explaining everything about the medications that I was getting which was really helpful and something that I didn't really get previously. She's great!!

Pamela is excellent. She is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. When I was having issues with my insurance she was very responsive and was able to even contact them for me. Highly recommend working with her.
