Tara Hicks
PMHNP-BC
I am a Board Certified Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. My education began at South University where I obtained my bachelors in nursing. I enjoyed caring for my patients and wanted to teach nursing students proper techniques. I decided to further my career and attended Western Governors University where I obtained my Masters in Nursing Education. I got back into mental health nursing and wanted more, so I attended Walden University and obtained my Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner degree. Understanding and communication are two important skills when treating patients with mental health and helping patients achieve their best overall well-being.
