Laurie Parks, NP

Family Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
NC
Laurie Parks FNP-C, PMHNP-BC. My approach to mental health care is to meet the client where they are in their mental health journey, to establish trust, and to treat every client with compassion. I want to really understand what the client's needs are. My focus areas are depression anxiety, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. My approach My most common theoretical approach is acceptance and cognitive behavioral therapy. I feel everyone needs to have positive coping mechanisms and knowledge of how the negative thoughts/feelings impact the day-to-day life. Acceptance of unhelpful thoughts and feelings and finding a way forward to live with the chosen values. My focus I typically work with patients with depression, anxiety, PTSD, mood disorders, and bipolar disorder. I am most comfortable with treating any of the above. My communication style I am respectful, calm, and like to laugh. I listen and will repeat the question or what was said if I feel I don't understand. I am present in the moment. I want to meet the needs of my patients and am honest about what I will and will not prescribe. My journey to mental healthcare I have been in healthcare for over 20 years. I became a nurse practitioner with the thought of broadening my knowledge and ability to make an impact on patients. I took my first job as an NP in psychiatry and have never looked back, I had never worked in psychiatry before. I love what I do. I think I am driven to work to hopefully impact patients in a positive manner and give them hope. My goals for you I like to set small, achievable goals in the beginning. As time goes on we can discuss more complex goals.
