Meet Board
Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Angela
Culbertson
Ms. Culbertson has wanted to help and heal
people ever since she can remember. Some of her first preschool drawings were
of a nurse and a nurse’s hat. Following her passion, she completed her
nursing degree at the University of Maryland and a master’s in
psychiatric/mental health nursing at Drexel University in
Philadelphia.
Her interest in forming meaningful
relationships and long-lasting bonds with her patients led her to choose a
career in psychiatry. “I get to know the whole person and see the whole
picture. It’s the best feeling when a patient tells me that our work together
has helped them feel better.”
Ms.
Culbertson says prescribing medication isn’t always automatic with a new
patient. “My goal is to understand what’s causing them to feel the way they
do. For example, anxiety can be associated with stress at home, work, or in a
relationship, which may be successfully addressed with advice and
consultation.”
Communication, Collaboration,
Teamwork
With a collaborative, multidisciplinary team
and robust set of services, just about anyone seeking mental health care can
find what they need at Connections Wellness Group McKinney.
“We have an amazing team,” Ms. Culbertson
says. “We support one another, and everyone is caring, with the same
outlook.” Patients naturally benefit from this breadth and depth of care in
innumerable ways. She adds, “We’re also making great strides in alleviating
the stigma associated with mental health and
encourage anyone considering care to take the first step toward
improving their mental, physical, and emotional well-being by scheduling a
consultation with us.”
