Dr. Hudson is an experienced, doctoral-prepared Family Nurse Practitioner who specializes in psychiatry services. Dr. Hudson is also board certified as a Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Dr. Hudson is on a mission to bridge the gap between medical and mental healthcare services starting in her home state of Mississippi by providing integrated medical and mental healthcare services to all individuals regardless of age, race, ethnicity, sexual identity, and socioeconomic background. She is a native of Canton, MS. She graduated from Hinds Community College (Associate Degree in Nursing), Alcorn State University (Bachelor of Science in Nursing), and the University of Southern Mississippi (Doctor of Nursing Practice with emphasis on integrated care, Post Master’s in Nursing [Family Nurse Practitioner], Master’s in Nursing [Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner]).
Dr. Hudson began practicing locally for a mental health agency before traveling throughout the states of Mississippi, Louisiana, and Virginia providing tele-psychiatry and mental health services when she noticed a gap in treatment for individuals with mental illnesses and other co-occurring medical disorders. When individuals with mental disorders presents to a primary care setting for medical problems, their mental health concerns are oftentimes overlooked; thereby, affecting access to behavioral health care services. Integrating behavioral healthcare in a primary care setting is a solution to providing quality, accessible, and cost-effective care to individuals with both medical and mental disorders.
