Meet Nicole Alexander
Board-Certified Psychiatry and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner & Family Nurse Practitioner
Hello, I am a Family Nurse Practitioner with a certification in Psychiatry and Mental Health. I have been a nurse practitioner for 12 years and take pride in helping my patients to achieve their optimal health both mentally and physically. I have a passion for helping adults manage anxiety and depression through pharmacological interventions as well as psychotherapy. I understand the stressors that many adults have and I approach each client with empathy.
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in anxiety and depression, my approach to care is patient-centered and holistic. I believe in creating a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard and understood. I collaborate closely with my clients, focusing on their unique needs and preferences, while utilizing evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and medication management when appropriate. My goal is to empower individuals to take an active role in their healing, fostering resilience and long-term mental well-being through personalized care plans that address both the symptoms and root causes of their distress.
