Getting to know Patricia Smith
Hi! I am Dr. Patricia Smith, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and a Bachelor's degree from the University of North Florida. Are you tired of going to providers and coming away confused and feeling like you are not being heard? I work with clients to improve their mental health awareness and to help educate them on what their options are to attain their mental health goals. My goal is to work towards your goals and to empower you in making educated decisions regarding your health. I use medication and brief therapy to address your concerns.
As to what makes me unique? I know that the most powerful person in the room when it comes to your healthcare is you. I will work with you to help you realize that too. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body, and spirit. I am a strong proponent of mindfulness, yoga, and exercise to help you develop a healthy lifestyle that works for you.
Whether you're dealing with poor sleep, overwhelming anxiety, cyclical depression, or struggling with ADHD, I'm here to help. Seeking help can feel scary, but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!
What should a new client know about working with you?
At the end of your first session I will go over your diagnosis and work with you on a treatment plan. This plan may often include medication, but not always. We will develop a plan that works for you and if there is something that does not work I want you to tell me. You are the first and last voice in the room as the plan has to fit and work for you.
More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
