Lady Crockett, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC
About Me
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with advanced training, holding a Master of Science in Nursing from Northern Kentucky University. I completed my undergraduate nursing education at Cincinnati State and Ohio University.
I have over 14 years of experience in mental health care across a wide range of settings, including an inpatient state psychiatric hospital, the VA Medical Center (where I managed a rehabilitation program for veterans), outpatient psychiatric care, partial hospitalization programs, and correctional facilities. This diverse background allows me to provide comprehensive, structured, and clinically grounded care for individuals with a wide range of psychiatric needs.
My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and individualized. I focus on understanding the full picture of each client’s mental health history, current symptoms, and treatment goals in order to create a clear and practical plan for care. I aim to provide treatment that is both effective and realistic, with an emphasis on stability, symptom reduction, and long-term improvement in quality of life.
I work with adolescents and adults experiencing conditions such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD (non-stimulant treatment), psychosis, and substance use concerns. When appropriate, I incorporate structured assessment tools, medication optimization strategies, and pharmacogenomic testing to support more personalized treatment decisions.
Initial Visit
During the initial evaluation, we will take a comprehensive look at your mental health history, including current symptoms, past diagnoses, previous medications, and prior treatment experiences. For children and adolescents, developmental history and family context are also reviewed when applicable.
Together, we will identify your primary concerns and goals, and discuss appropriate treatment options. This may include medication management, additional diagnostic evaluation, therapy referrals, or further testing when clinically indicated.
My goal during the first visit is to ensure you leave with a clear understanding of your treatment plan, next steps, and what to expect moving forward.
Approach to Care
I provide a structured and individualized approach to psychiatric treatment that is grounded in clinical experience across multiple levels of care. I am committed to thoughtful diagnostic assessment and careful medication management tailored to each person’s needs.
Clients often appreciate a direct, supportive, and transparent communication style. I place strong emphasis on education, so you understand not only what your treatment plan is, but why it is being recommended.
My goal is to support you in achieving greater stability, improved functioning, and an overall better quality of life. I look forward to working collaboratively with you as we move toward your mental health goals.
