Hi! My name is Dr. Devin N. Bailey! I am a dual-certified nurse practitioner in family medicine and psychiatry! I absolutely love the holistic and integrative approach to medicine; helping people reconnect their mind-body-spirit as this disconnection is often the source of our dis-ease! Hence why our clinic name includes the word "Afya", Swahili for wholeness of mind, body & spirit; health (freedom from physical and psychological disease)! The ideal patient for my clinic would be the patient who is interested in both conventional and non-conventional healing modalities-utilizing faith, nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, relationships, in addition to medication and therapy as medicine! Our sessions begin with an initial workup and evaluation of all parts of you; mind-body-spirit, to allow for us to create a plan that produces results because it considers your wholeness-Afya!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
We will perform your intake appointment to determine if we are a good fit for each other. I will collect information from you by way of asking questions, determine a medical diagnosis(es), and then create your specific treatment plan (e.g. order blood work/labs, refer to therapy, order tests, prescribe medication/supplements/vitamins/nutrition, etc.,)
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize lifestyle medicine (sleep, nutrition, exercise, relationships, stress and substance-abuse) and integrative psychiatry plus faith-infused coaching to produce health! *Please note that Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT) Level II services and hypnotherapy require a separate registration. Please email me directly if you are interested in this service at thatafyalife@theafyaeffect.com*
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strength is in my faith that God provided me with a gift of healing plus quirkiness. I am comfortable in my own skin because I know I was intentionally created this way for the purpose of being able to connect with others. I believe that in order to benefit from one's healthcare providers, the client first has to connect with their provider.
