About Me

Hello, and welcome to my practice! My name is Teresa Arnold, and I am the sole proprietor of Mind Matters Behavioral Health. I am a board-certified psychiatric mental-health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with years of experience providing excellent healthcare to adults and adolescents across a broad range of conditions. My nursing background is in critical care, and I have experience treating high-acuity and high-risk patient populations across all intensive-care settings. I transitioned into psychiatry and psychotherapy due to my experience with vulnerable mentally ill and substance -addicted populations experiencing acute illness as a result of many years without adequate psychiatric care. I became determined to help improve quality of life, not simply prolong it! And as a nurse I am educated and trained to treat the whole person, not just the disease, using a holistic model of care.

 

If you're here, I assume you're looking for a more personalized and flexible approach to psychiatry and mental health care that provides the convenience you need to fit into your busy schedule. As a working wife and mother, I understand how stressful it can be to fit all the tasks into your day while also focusing on self care and personal healing. In fact, that is one of the main reasons I started this practice, to provide more flexibility to my schedule. 9-5 business hours at solely-brick-and-mortar establishments are too restrictive for the average adult, leaving you little room in your day to schedule appointments and drive to a clinic, not to mention having to use annual leave to do so! Choosing me as your provider means you will be receiving services at your convenience, not a clinic's.
