My name is Vickie. As a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), my primary goal is to support and empower individuals seeking mental wellness.

Creating this practice stemmed from my deep conviction to provide accessible mental health care to those who may feel lost or overwhelmed. I firmly believe in the words of Psalm 34:18, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” It is this belief that motivates me to reach out and help others on their journey to healing.

I understand that accessing care can be challenging without insurance, and that can lead to feelings of isolation and despair. If you are struggling to find affordable mental health care, you're not alone. To combat this, I've established partnerships with caring professionals who are willing to volunteer their time, allowing us to provide services at no cost or at a reduced fee. Together, we can overcome barriers to mental health services and foster a community of support, compassion, and healing, shining light into the darkness of mental illness.

At Melrose-Wakefield Psychiatric Associates, we strive to embody the message of 1 Thessalonians 5:11: “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up.” By joining hands and working together, we can create a safe space for individuals to heal, grow, and thrive on their mental wellness journey.
