Family Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
IL
Hello, I'm Laura Meade, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I specialize in providing compassionate psychiatric care through telehealth services. I have diverse experience working with children, adults, and seniors across various settings including outpatient care, substance abuse treatment, and crisis residential environments. Previously, I've supported the elderly in nursing homes and rehabilitation centers working in the psychiatric field. I've also worked in correctional psychiatry, offering essential mental health services in a maximum-security prison. My experience includes working in federally qualified health centers, providing psychiatric care regardless of a patient's insurance status, and offering Medication Assisted Therapy for substance use disorders. Before diving into psychiatric care, I worked in dialysis as a Registered Nurse, both in hospital settings and by providing home-based education and support. This varied background helps me understand and cater to the unique needs of patients from all walks of life. Education has been a cornerstone of my career. I hold a Master’s Degree in Family Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing from Maryville University and am on the path to earning a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Maryville University, with graduation anticipated in December 2024. I am committed to lifelong learning and advocating for my patients' well-being. When you choose care with me, you can trust that you will receive dedicated, empathetic, and patient-centered care tailored to your needs. I look forward to providing you with the highest standard of psychiatric care. ***THIS PROVIDER DOES NOT PRESCRIBE ANY CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES***

What should a new client know about working with you?

I care about the whole patient and take my time to listen carefully to all concerns! I provide therapy as well as medications when necessary and make sure you are educated on your treatment options every step of the way. ***THIS PROVIDER DOES NOT PRESCRIBE ANY CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES***

What is your typical process for working with clients?

The first visit will be about an hour. This time will be spent getting to know you! We will go through medical and family history questions, current concerns, previous treatment, and psychiatric history. Once we review history and current concerns, we talk diagnosis and treatment options. After this initial visit, follow up appointments are generally 30 minutes reviewing how things are going with the treatment chosen.
