Getting to know Donna Felkins-Dohm

I have been a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner for 29 years, working in a variety of settings, including 10 years in the VA Dual Diagnosis program. I earned my Bachelor's degree from Saint Leo University and my Master’s in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing from the University of South Florida. No matter what role I am in, I bring my compassion for the human spirit, commitment to helping people, acceptance of diversity, and sense of humor. My treatment focus is the utilization of therapy and medication management for individuals with depression, anxiety, trauma, psychosis, dual diagnosis, and addictions. I see us as a team, working together to explore challenges and problem-solve for the future. As a mental health provider, I see the whole person in front of me. My primary goals are always centered on empowerment—to help you make changes in your life, become healthier, and find more meaning. Efforts will focus on challenging negative patterns of thinking and behaviors, problem-solving, goal-setting, and discovering your inner strengths. If you are suffering from emotional pain in your life or relationships, or have a mental illness of any kind, please reach out—it is never too late. Take a step. It’s time to seek change in your life. I look forward to working with you.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I want to know what you are seeking to change and I expect you to participate in your therapy. This is your time and I want you to gain the most you can from it. I often use assignments to enhance assessment, self-exploration, and education. I appreciate a sense of humor, so don't hold back, BE yourself!

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our first session is a Psychiatric Evaluation which is a diagnostic interview with lots of questions about your history. It will give direction to therapy and also to any need for medication, as well as begin exploring what brought you into treatment. After this session, we will have much more time to talk freely about the directions you are wanting or needing to focus on.

I came to Donna during a very difficult time in my life, and I am incredibly grateful for the care and support she provided. She was attentive, compassionate, and quickly identified effective solutions for my condition. Her professionalism, expertise, and dedication to her field are truly commendable.
Donna Felkins-Dohm APRN I have been a patient of Donna for several years. My medication was not providing the desired results, and I sought alternative options. I conducted a search through my health insurance provider’s list of psychiatrists and general practitioners, but was unsuccessful. I subsequently realized that I could schedule an appointment with a psychiatric nurse, and Donna was the one. She possesses exceptional knowledge, patience, and flexibility in addressing patient needs. It took some time to determine the most effective medication regimen for me, but I found Donna to be an attentive listener and consistently provided appropriate feedback. I highly recommend her services.
Sweet Donna! She's truly one of those people I can't imagine getting by without. As a nurse practitioner, she has been absolutely amazing. Donna has helped me tremendously, and what really stands out is how well she listens. It's not just about hearing words; she genuinely takes everything in and gives such thoughtful advice. If you're ever in need of someone who truly cares and knows her stuff, Donna's the one to go to!
Donna is absolutely wonderful. She has been integral in helping me through my mental health journey. She is an advocate for her patients. She always listens first for what I am looking to achieve and how I'd like to achieve it. Thank you, Donna.
