“The staff is very pleasant however the doctors need to listen. I told Dr Sonia Yballe that my son needed a refill on his meds & She went back and forth with me about him not needing it then. (His last refill was October 30 and we’re in her office on December 3rd. The script is a 30 day supply) Now he’s been getting into trouble at school. I’ve called the office 3 days in a row, 5 times a day and to this very moment he does not have his refill. Staff is waiting for her to send the script over🙄”

She is absolutely amazing and takes her time listening and addressing my concerns. Also, scheduling appointments are easy and they are very flexible with your schedule. Highly recommend her and the team at Advanced Behavioral.”
I am Doris, a board-certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I completed my Master of Science in Nursing degree at Walden University in Minneapolis, MN. I have worked in the mental health field for the past 13 years in outpatient, inpatient, and residential settings. I am committed to providing holistic and culturally competent individualized care that embodies the client's developmental and bio-psycho-social histories in my treatment approach. I have experience working with individuals ages 5 to 65 and older adults struggling with depression and mood disorders, anxiety disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders such as Autism and ADHD, eating disorders, trauma, behavior problems, and other co-occurring mental disorders. Owing to the abstract nature and presentation of mental health conditions, I believe the patient is integral to a successful treatment outcome and employ the patient-centered model in my evaluation and treatment recommendations.

“Dr. Paden is all around a wonderful person and cares about her patients in a way I have never experienced before. I have been to countless psychiatrists but none of them have treated me like a person, rather like a headcase and prescribed me my meds and sent me on my way. Dr. Paden takes time to genuinely check in, she is thorough and most importantly concerned with her patients overall wellbeing. I could not speak highly enough of this woman and am so thankful I found spectrum.”
