Marcia Friend

My name is Marcia Friend, and I am a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Board Certified to treat patients Across the Lifespan. I have over 20 years of experience in the nursing field, and I hold master’s degrees in nursing and health administration. Using evidence-based practices, I am equipped to treat neurodevelopmental, behavioral, emotional, psychosocial, and other psychosis-related mental health challenges.

Therapeutic encounters with me are founded on respect for diversity and open dialogue. I believe at the core of each human is a distinct need to thrive in a steady state of wellness in mind, body, and spirit. Let me help you build inner fortitude, resilience, and resourcefulness that will affirm your peace. Together, we will explore your unique needs. You can expect collaborative and integrative approaches in treatment planning and interventions that are evidence-based and patient-centered.

You are assured of being received in a safe, non-judgmental environment. I am ready to listen and willing to help. Your treatment plan may include medication, counseling, or both, depending upon your needs. I will support you in developing your goals and traveling the path to mental wellness.
