Dr. Farmer is an incredible mental health nurse practitioner. She always makes sure to answer questions you may be too afraid to ask or address any concerns you may have. Instead of just "diagnosing the problem," she does Show morea really good job of diving deep into understanding the person and their experiences. She has personally helped me overcome obstacles I never thought I would be able to get through. I would 100% recommend her to anyone brave enough to take the leap to ask for help.

About Shawnte Farmer, APRN

I believe a holistic approach in treating both mind and body is needed to create significant and lasting positive change. Implementing these changes includes a wide variety of services, to both assess, diagnose, and treat mental and physical needs individually. Psychiatric assessments provide a foundation for creating a unique, individualized, and collaborative treatment plan to address current symptoms, and, more importantly, the core issues that need to be addressed to find relief and pave the way for future success. I do not believe in a “one size fits all” approach. Therefore, my assessments are thorough and include an in-depth history, an understanding of past and current symptoms, and may utilize other diagnostic tools to gain an understanding of your unique individual history and current needs.

I saw Dr. Farmer for an initial consultation after many years since my previous experience with a psychiatric professional. Although I haven't started any treatment yet through the oversight of Dr. Farmer, I can say that on this initial experience, she truly worked to listen and take all factors of my life into consideration of her medical overview. Dr. Farmer seems to be a professional, caring and well-versed provider who puts patient well-being and success as her first priority.
