Connie Baxter

Hello, I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP)as well as a family nurse practitioner. (FNP). My experience in mental health stems from being a staff nurse on an inpatient psychiatric unit and becoming a nurse manager on a psychiatric unit for five years. My experience has been with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as psychosis. As an FNP I initiated treatment for anxiety and depression and made appropriate referrals as needed.

My treatment for mental illness includes different ways to help and minimize effects. It may involve medication management, community support, self-help, and/or psychological therapy.

My goal is to allow patients to function and be productive in daily activities such as work and school. I want to promote positive mental health resulting in positive relationships and the ability to adapt to change and cope with adversity.
