About Teresa Peterson

Hello, my name is Teresa Peterson, and I am a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a strong commitment to understanding and addressing psychiatric illnesses. My extensive experience in acute care and psychiatric hospital settings has allowed me to work closely with a diverse range of patients, enabling me to expertly identify the clinical signs and symptoms associated with various psychiatric conditions.

I am keen to differentiate between normal age-related physiological and psychological changes and those that may indicate more serious issues. I collaborate effectively with my colleagues to ensure a comprehensive approach to understanding patient psychiatric signs and symptoms, and I have a deep understanding of mental illnesses across all age groups. Moreover, I actively engage in health promotion and disease prevention techniques as an integral part of my daily practice, striving to enhance the overall well-being of my patients.
