Description
Hello, my name is Brea and I am a dual board-certified nurse practitioner in adult-gerontology primary care and psychiatric-mental health care. My combined knowledge of primary care and psychiatric-mental health care allows me to treat patients using a holistic approach. I specialize in providing holistic telepsychiatry care to improve the management of symptoms associated with mental health conditions as well as other medical symptoms, nutritional deficiencies, and/or daily life stressors that may be contributing to their mental health symptoms.
I love to use a team approach while working with my patients because I believe in supporting and listening to their treatment goals in order to work together to develop a treatment plan to reduce their mental health symptoms. While using a holistic approach to treatment, I offer a balance of brief psychotherapy, medication management, virtual ADHD testing (upon request), and guidance with self-care practices, healthy nutrition, and staying physically active for overall wellness.
My goal is to provide culturally competent and non-judgmental individualized care for every patient in order to treat each patient as a whole person not just their mental health symptoms. I have always been passionate about reducing the stigma of seeking care for mental health issues in the African American community and I believe that seeking care for mental health conditions should be more normalized. People should never feel ashamed to seek mental health care in the same manner that people would not hesitate to seek care for a sore throat or an ankle sprain. Therefore, I provide a welcoming, down-to-earth, supportive, nurturing, trustworthy, and friendly environment to my patients and tell everyone to come as they are. I understand that people are multifaceted, and they should not be expected to fit into a mold. Therefore, building a positive therapeutic relationship with every patient is essential to the way that I provide care.
