Improving the Access to Psych Care Options

Art by Rachael Dalzell

Welcome

A psychiatric-mental health NP (PMHNP) is a nurse practitioner’s certification that specializes in mental health and promotes advanced psychiatric care and management. I personally created PMHealth NP hub to advocate for accessible mental health care and provide free resources. Content is intended for clinicians, professional students/facilities specializing in psych, and others providing psych care or similar interests, please read the disclaimer or find standard resources.


January-Feb. 2025: Welcome and Happy Winter. Sorry for the delays, I got bombarded over the holidays, cooking, running around, praying no one ends up in jail. I honestly thank everyone for being patient with me. It wasn’t my plans to keep the website off for that long and still making changes, but to make a long story short -I have international populations and had to rewrite a lot to make things easier to understand because yes I want psych care to be global so I can live on a beach… and apparently I wrote a lot on this website so it’ll take me awhile to rewrite stuff…and looking back at what and how I was writing I’m overall ashamed. I probably should’ve been medicated during the pandemic but, here I am! Moving forward, I will try to make the website more professional because the American healthcare system is getting worse… however, with regards to the website -it’ll be more lifestyle or practical related to mental health… some areas will have AI to make it straightforward, but with the blog -I can continue to ramble because that’s what make this website special! And there are millions of other normal websites, this will not be one of them.  Another reason why I needed to start writing again is because having my own practice, I feel the need to warn providers to just not do it or be careful. I’m trying to nice, but having a business is not ideal for the majority of people…including myself. I was so close to just starting another business away from healthcare and to make desserts, but then my family reminded me that the general population is no different from the psych patients. So I’m stuck, but still happy and going strong. Thanks again for all the love✨

Sept/Oct. 2024: Yayyy! My baby is back up and running. I was going to put a post up and was shocked to see the site deleted. Thank goodness my urges and determination outweighs the rest of my craziness and was able to get it back.. Speaking of crazy, I’m currently doing my private practice and working at another one, mentoring, trying to start another business, and THIS website. So forgive me the absence and not being able to respond to emails, but the good news is that I’m back with a vengeance and I have MUCH to say about everything so if something happens to the website… I’ll just start another one llol.. I have major posts/update plans for October. Thank you for your patience! Hopefully, everyone is doing well…I’ve been great despite our mental health care system getting worse, which is why I won’t stop babbling or writing… not to mention how the access to care IS disappearing or being ignored. Continue to make sure you’re taking care of yourselves as well! I brace people for how times will get worse and to stay grounded/focused… Eventually, the website will discuss more lifestyle issues such as the dreaded taxes and finances… and not just healthcare. Alright, be back soon! 🍂🍂Happy Fall🍂🍂  

March 2024: I’m still in the universe. I know it’s been a roller coaster for everyone and WOW with everything that’s going on! In addition to starting my practice, I’m already ready to retire lol I’m still building a caseload, slowly but surely because being selective with everything is important… I do plan on doing a post about the whole process while having some form of inner peace. In the meantime, I’m trying to get through taxes lol… I also wanted to focus part of the website on lifestyle topics, especially with finances and I’m hoping to start content/updates again by the summer/fall when things level out a little more! Like I don’t need or want any more curve balls okay take care of yourselves as well :))
