Psychiatric Mental Health NP

My nursing career began in 2010 when I first became a Registered Nurse. In 2017 I graduated from Maryville University in St. Louis, MO with my master’s degree in nursing and became a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) licensed in Illinois. I have been blessed to work in many facets of healthcare since and has also become a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). With a strong foundation in both primary care and mental health, my approach aligns overall wellness and hormone optimization with physical, mental, and lifestyle well-being.

Find the right therapist 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 Springfield

Searching for therapists in Springfield starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist specialties match your needs. Some Springfield therapists focus on anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach fit what you want to address. A profile may mention approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, which can help you understand how a therapist works before you book.

In a smaller city like Springfield, the number of nearby therapy offices may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Illinois. Consider practical fit as you narrow your search, including appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what a first session may look like.

Therapy in Springfield can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find Springfield therapists who match your preferences, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between in-person and virtual appointments when available. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
