8761 Dorchester Road, North Charleston, SCHello! I would love to get you scheduled. Please call our office at 843-212-6979 for an appointment.
I am a Master's level dual board certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Medication management is my specialty, and supportive therapy is part of every visit. I have experience with veterans, adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities, TBI, severe and persistent mental illness, pregnant women, transient/low income populations, Indian Health Services, geriatrics, trauma, and LGBTQIA2S+ patients.
I am a person who understands the stress that comes with multitasking life's many responsibilities including parenting, work, a spouse, women's health, and the many other hats we sometimes wear. I know the familiar strain of working in the medical field, providing care for others while delicately balancing self care. I can appreciate the layers of complexity of being multicultural. I know the burden of military life with a military spouse (now retired!) and the impact of deployments on families, loss included. I know the heaviness of caring for a family member with special needs, and am well versed in many things life may throw our way. I would be honored to support you as you navigate the tougher paths in your life.

I'm Paula McKnight-Leggette, a psychiatric nurse practitioner serving patients across South Carolina through telehealth. I focus my practice on anxiety, depression, and stress — the things so many people carry quietly for years before they reach out. Watching people struggle through it day after day is a big part of why I do this work. I'm an optimist by nature, and that isn't something I leave at the door. I've seen people get better, and that belief shapes how I show up for every person I work with. Outside of work, you'll find me traveling, shopping, or spending time with my family. Those are the things that fill me back up.

Frequently asked questions
Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Summerville
Finding psychiatrists in Summerville starts with understanding the type of care you want to access. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with you on concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship stress, or life transitions. Medication management often includes an initial evaluation, follow-up visits, and ongoing conversations about how your care plan fits your needs.
In a smaller city like Summerville, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in nearby Charleston or across broader mental health South Carolina searches. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still giving you access to licensed psychiatrists in South Carolina. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer medication management, therapy, or both. Reading bios can help you understand each psychiatrist’s focus, communication style, and experience with concerns that match what you’re looking for.
Psychiatric care in Summerville can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
