"I became a nurse because I wanted to make a difference in the lives of others and give back to the community. I decided to become a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner because I felt that it would give me the opportunity to do more for the population that I serve and assist them with their goals of healing while helping to ease their suffering," says Natasha. "I appreciate the uniqueness of every individual I encounter and my style of practice ranges from prescribing up-to-date psychiatric medications or natural treatments to include but not limited to modifications to lifestyle, vitamins, supplements, exercise, nutrition, and stress management."

Alison Graham is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who has worked with a spectrum of patients from adolescence to geriatrics. She has helped these individuals with depression and anxiety, all the way to psychosis and self-harm. 

"Mental illness can be scary and isolating. I am not here to just focus on your symptoms. My purpose is to see you as a whole person," says Alison. "I offer honesty, hope, and humility during every visit. I want to have those tough conversations to then get to those 'I did it!' ones. While working with you, I am also your greatest advocate."

"Emotional pain is not something that should be hidden and never spoken about. There is truth in your pain, there is growth in your pain, but only if it's first brought out into the open," says Alison. "Let's work together to learn how to not sit in the pain forever but to sit in it for just enough time to grow from it."

My name is Brian Robertson, but most people just call me Rob. I am an EMDR therapist specializing in treating complex trauma, dissociative disorders, and borderline personality disorder. To best treat those with whom I work with, I am only taking new cases that have complex trauma. I also have experience in treating victims of sex trafficking, military combat trauma, and victims of ritual abuse and programming (cults).

Using neurobiology, I like to use a scientific evidence-based, but also holistic and person-centered approach.

I like to work with my patients as part of a team and I value being part of the journey in seeing them become the person that they want to be. Through the strength of empowerment, we can work together to help you become the person that you want to be.
