Rebecca Headley, PSYCHIATRIC NURSE PRACTITIONER

I have worked in the medical field for over twenty years. I obtained my Masters and Doctorate in Nursing from Wilmington University. My Post -Graduate certification in Psychiatric Mental Health was obtained from Wilkes University. My professional goal is to improve Mental Health knowledge in the community to decrease the stigma that is currently placed on Mental Health. Preconceptions of mental health conditions can have a significant impact on one’s life as they may prevent many from seeking the care needed to improve their life. Proper Mental Health care has so much to do with one’s overall health and is essential to living a heathy life. When left untreated symptoms can cause significant distress in one’s life. Through good communication and following evidenced-based practice whether with psychotherapy treatment, pharmacological treatment or a combination of both, together myself and the patient will determine the best treatment plan to reach maximum potential. I want you to be able to enjoy your days and with effective treatment I believe that together we can achieve this goal.
