Paula McKnight-Leggette

Paula McKnight-Leggette

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • South Carolina


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.
