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.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
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.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
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.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
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.
Supportive
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.

Her profile and warm attributes is what drew me to Dr Talbot-Atkinson. And I am very happy I chose her. She listened to my concerns and allowed space for me to feel all my emotions without judgement. Thank you for that ..

Pamela was awesome! She took her time explaining everything to me and eased my hesitations about starting medication. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone struggling with their mental health.
