Tamara Halbersma NP

Summary

• I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC), with a Master’s in Nursing Practice (ARNP). I have over 12 years of nursing experience in obstetrics and gynecology, emergency nursing, crisis intervention and management, and psychiatric care across the lifespan. I draw on my crisis intervention skills, assessment, interviewing techniques, and collaboration with my patients to develop a personalized plan for their needs.
  
  I possess strong clinical skills enhanced by building rapport with patients and families. My ultimate goal is to provide compassionate and comprehensive care to individuals struggling with mental health issues and empower them with hope as they develop resilience in their journey. I provide medication management and focus on mental wellness by treating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention deficit disorder, schizophrenia, and more. As a PMHNP, my role is multifaceted: crisis worker, educator, and mental health advocate.
