Heidi Woods, PMHNP-BC

I have been work­ing in the health­care field for the last 25 years. I have expe­ri­ence work­ing in both inpa­tient and out­pa­tient set­tings in coun­sel­ing, have 20 years expe­ri­ence work­ing as a reg­is­tered nurse in areas of crit­i­cal care and home care includ­ing hos­pice, and have expe­ri­ence work­ing as a psy­chi­atric nurse prac­ti­tion­er in the out­pa­tient set­ting. My goal is to pro­vide opti­mal and respect­ful care through pro­vid­ing both coun­sel­ing and med­ica­tion man­age­ment to my clients. My belief is that med­ica­tion, as part of the treat­ment plan, is ​“a cane, not a wheel­chair.” Med­ica­tion can be an inte­gral part of treat­ment but, ther­a­py and coun­sel­ing, and skill build­ing is the foun­da­tion of mak­ing sig­nif­i­cant life changes. Life is a com­pli­cat­ed jour­ney in which we can be both a wit­ness and part­ner to allow peo­ple to reach their full poten­tial. I look for­ward to work­ing with you!
