My name is Davette Patterson-Yount and as a PMHNP, I bring 20 years of nursing experience and 16 years of experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of caring for individuals across the lifespan, from children and adolescents to adults and older adults. I have experience treating a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, schizophrenia, and psychotic disorders.

My approach to care is collaborative and holistic. My goal is to create an environment where people can come as they are.

My goal is to create a welcoming, supportive environment where people feel comfortable to come as they are. I value open communication and shared decision-making. My goal is for each person to feel heard, respected, and supported as we work together toward greater stability, wellness, and overall quality of life.
