Sara Spence, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC

Hello, I'm Sara Spence, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a mission to provide compassionate and comprehensive mental health care. I embarked on my journey as a mental health provider after graduating with honors from Indiana Wesleyan University in 08/2019. I am dedicated to providing specialized care for women or those who identify as women grappling with the complexities of life. As a seasoned practitioner in integrative psychiatry, I focus on treating depression and anxiety stemming from various stressors, such as the demands of jobs, career, children, and relationships. My approach combines traditional psychiatric care, including medication and supplements, with a holistic perspective. I believe in the power of lifestyle modifications, and I often recommend sound healing, yoga, acupuncture, massage, and a balanced diet and exercise routine to enhance mental well-being. It is my passion to guide and support individuals on a transformative journey, helping them not only manage their symptoms but also empowering them to lead fulfilling lives.

My background encompasses a diverse array of experiences in mental health care, including both inpatient and outpatient settings. Prior to becoming a PMHNP, I began my career as a psychiatric Registered Nurse (RN), graduating from Indiana University of Kokomo in 12/2014. My RN experience involved working in a variety of mental health settings, including inpatient mental health and addiction treatment, as well as outpatient care for individuals dealing with mental health and substance use disorders.

The decision to establish a private telepsychiatric practice was driven by my unwavering commitment to delivering patient-centered care. Telepsychiatry affords the flexibility to provide treatment without the constraints of administrative dictates and time restraints. It allows for increased accessibility to those in need, seamlessly integrating mental health care into the daily lives of patients, regardless of their busy schedules.

My passion for mental health care and high-quality holistic treatment is the driving force behind my practice. I am genuinely excited to collaborate with each individual patient, guiding them on their journey to a better, happier, and more fulfilling quality of life. Together, we can work toward achieving your mental health and overall well-being goals.
