I started my career as a Medical assistant and then transitioned into Nursing where I spent the majority of my time working as an Oncology Nurse. In 2011, I elected to go back to school to obtain my Master's in Nursing, as a Family Nurse Practitioner and later on obtained my certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Mental Health has always been my passion. My expertise and experience enable me to treat patients with psychiatric disorders across the lifespan. It is my goal to treat each patient as a whole, focusing on mental health screening, assessing, treating while providing an empathetic listening.

Dr. Edward Freeman, PhD, ARNP
Psychiatrist 34.4 mi
The foundational attitude and approach I bring to each time we meet is what I like to call 'therapeutic presence.'
The idea is not mine. My introduction to the practice of therapeutic presence came by wedding my natural gifts with hard work to finish degrees and residencies. These academic and clinical introductions occurred while I studied at multiple universities that awarded me degrees and/or post-licensure certificates. Some of my alma maters are the University of Texas at Arlington, Valparaiso University, Concordia College/University, St. John’s University-Seminary (MN.), the University of Missouri at Kansas City, the University of California at San Francisco.
Concurrent with studies and subsequent ranked professorial appointments over twenty years, I maintained an active clinical practice at least eight hours weekly and often more. I place high value in the knowledge I have acquired 'on the job.' Often the ones who teach me most are those who seek my care.
