Wife. Mother. Therapist. Navigator. I value my authentic self and believe we all can trace life’s imprints to dive into the core of who we are versus what life has conditioned us to be. I hone in on my abilities to help all you navigators explore whichever capacities it is that you seek to grow through, heal from, or transition into. You are not just another name, but a whole light. We are all perfectly imperfect. I truly believe you can become stronger through a healthier relationship with yourself and others when equipped with the proper navigational tools.

Sherry Patrick

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Tennessee


I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 17 years of experience in nursing, beginning my career in 2007. As a 55-year-old African American female provider, I bring both clinical expertise and life experience into my practice, creating a compassionate and supportive space where patients feel heard, respected, and understood.

My approach to care is holistic and patient-centered, recognizing that mental health is influenced by emotional, physical, social, and cultural factors. I practice using a participatory and affirming style, partnering with my patients to develop treatment plans that align with their goals, values, and strengths. I believe in empowering individuals through education, collaboration, and encouragement.

While I strive to create a warm and supportive environment, I am also direct when needed, providing clear guidance and evidence-based treatment recommendations to support safety, stability, and long-term wellness.

My greatest strengths include empathy, active listening, cultural understanding, and a deep commitment to helping individuals improve their quality of life. I am passionate about supporting people on their journey toward healing, resilience, and mental well-being.

Hi! I'm so glad you're here. I have been a LPC-MHSP in TN for over 2 years, and have a long history of mental health training and experience prior to that. I have lived all over - Guam, NE, CO, IL - and bring my love for learning and connecting with people to each aspect of my life. With curiosity and empathy I have been able to grow my professional experiences to include practicing in community mental health settings, inpatient hospitals, collaborative care environments, and now in private practice. I enjoy the freedom and autonomy in which private practice offers, as it allows me to meet each client where they are and adjust our treatment goals as needed.
