                                            🌟 Did you know that our full-time nurse practitioner, Valerie Goodale, is dual board certified! 🌟
What does dual board certified mean?
This means that Valerie is both a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP).
✅ What does this mean?
As a PMHNP, Valerie is specially trained to assess, diagnose, and treat mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, and more. She provides compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care to help support emotional well-being.
As an FNP, Valerie is trained to provide comprehensive healthcare across the lifespan, from childhood through adulthood. She has expertise in managing physical health needs, preventative care, and understanding the connection between physical and mental health.
By holding both certifications, Valerie brings a well-rounded approach to care—addressing not only mental health but also recognizing the importance of overall wellness.
💙 We’re excited to have Valerie on our team full time and look forward to the difference she will continue making in the lives of our clients!
