Cassandra Gilliam, NP

Family Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
GA
Hi there, I'm Cassandra! I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Prior to becoming a Nurse Practitioner, I was a mental health nurse, nurse educator, and mental health change agent for 19 years. My goal is to ensure that each client receives individualized and patient-centered care to help you along your journey to becoming a 'new you. My approach My approach varies based on the needs of each client. I will use a combination of assessment and evaluation to ascertain any underlying mental health alterations to develop a diagnosis and care plan to promote positive behavioral changes. I also use motivational interviewing and talk therapy to help to provide patient-centered and individualized care. My focus I work with adults and older adults who are having issues with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and PTSD. I also assess and treat ADHD using non-stimulant medication options. My communication style I am open and transparent, and I promote an environment where each client can speak freely without any fear of judgment. I strive to make each individual feel comfortable, supported, and “heard.” My journey to mental healthcare I have been a mental health nurse for 20 years prior to becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner. While in nursing school and during my first mental health clinical as I began to care for patients and hear their stories, I knew this was the field for me. I have had multiple careers in the mental health arena, but my mission remains the same “to help as many people as I can become a better version of themselves.” My goals for you My approach to goal setting with clients is all about working together to define what you want to accomplish in our time together. As we build our therapeutic relationship, we will work together to set goals and track progress.
