Hi there! I'm Amber Kerby, a passionate, board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with a focus on promoting health and wellness through a holistic approach to treatment. With years of experience in the field, I firmly believe that true healing lies in addressing the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of a person's life. Instead of solely relying on medication management, I take a comprehensive approach that incorporates various therapeutic modalities, including mindfulness, nutrition, exercise, and alternative therapies, to help individuals achieve optimal mental well-being. 

I have training and experience working with patients in both inpatient and outpatient settings. My nursing education began in 2013 in my Mississippi hometown before moving to Denver, CO where I later obtained my Associates, then Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing. I then pursued a Masters of Science in Nursing, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner certification from the University of South Alabama and moved to Nashville in 2018. 

I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental, laid-back space where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves and exploring their unique journey towards healing. I believe that mental health is not a one-size-fits-all concept, and I tailor my treatment plans to meet each individual's specific needs and goals. Through collaborative and compassionate care, I aim to empower individuals to take an active role in their own healing process, helping them develop the necessary tools to navigate life's challenges and cultivate long-lasting resilience. If you're looking for a mental health provider who approaches treatment with a holistic and relaxed perspective, I would be honored to be part of your healing journey. Be prepared to put in the work towards a better version of YOU!
