Telena Pollard, APRN, RN

Adult Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
VA
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in the evaluation and treatment of adults with a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, bipolar and other mood disorders, PTSD and trauma-related conditions, psychotic disorders, ADHD, OCD, sleep disorders and insomnia, and psychiatric and behavioral concerns associated with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). My nursing background spans a variety of clinical settings, shaping my understanding of the importance of caring for the whole person—not simply treating a diagnosis. I bring this broad clinical perspective to psychiatric care, recognizing that mental health can be influenced by physical health, medications, life experiences, environment, and relationships. **Clinical Interests & Areas of Focus** My clinical interests include anxiety and depressive disorders, bipolar disorder, PTSD, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, ADHD, OCD, sleep disorders and insomnia, and the psychiatric and behavioral needs of individuals with IDD. I also have a particular interest in individuals with complex medication histories or multiple psychiatric concerns. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and ongoing follow-up care tailored to each patient's needs. **My Approach to Care** My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and patient-centered. I believe patients should feel heard, respected, and actively involved in treatment decisions. I take time to understand each person's symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, concerns, goals, and life circumstances. When medication is appropriate, I discuss why it is recommended, what to expect, potential side effects, and available alternatives. Treatment is not one-size-fits-all. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where patients feel supported and leave with a clear understanding of their treatment plan and next steps.
