Fernanda Johnston, NP

Fernanda Johnston, NP

Family Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
UT
Hi there, I'm Fernanda! I'm a dual practitioner with experience treating patients across the lifespan. As a Brazilian native, I speak Portuguese and Spanish fluently and am a veteran. I believe in treating the individual, not just the diagnosis, by collaborating with you to design a treatment plan tailored to your needs. My focus I work with a diverse range of patients facing various mental health disorders. I'm comfortable treating a wide array of conditions without any specific preference. Each case is unique and requires an individualized approach, so I focus on tailoring treatment to meet your specific needs and circumstances. My approach I believe in treating the individual, not just the diagnosis, by collaborating with her patients to design and implement a treatment plan tailored to their needs. Nanda recognizes that mental healthcare is not structured on a one-size-fits-all model and believes in holistically treating patients, assuring that all healing modalities are considered. My communication style I create a safe and judgment-free environment where you feel comfortable expressing your thoughts and feelings openly. Collaboration is key, as being actively involved empowers you and fosters ownership over your mental health journey. My approach is non-formal and inviting, making it easy to engage in authentic dialogue. My journey to mental healthcare I've always believed in the importance of compassion and patience in mental healthcare. My exposure during nursing school confirmed my passion. Working in acute mental health hospitals allowed me to connect with patients, learn from their experiences, and contribute meaningfully to their journeys. My goals for you I take a personalized approach by considering your unique realities and circumstances. I emphasize setting realistic goals that focus on addressing your immediate needs for mental health stability, ensuring that each step is achievable and meaningful in your journey toward overall well-being.
