Fernanda Cooley

My communication style

I create a welcoming environment with empathic listening and strive to educate you on your options. I'm an avid learner, open to trying new approaches that fit your needs. My clients appreciate collaborating with me, not being told what to do, and learning about their diagnosis and treatment options.

My journey to mental healthcare

After my first daughter was born, the nurses' care inspired me to become a nurse. I fell in love with psychiatric nursing during my training. My first job was at an inpatient psychiatric hospital, and after working in the ER and hospice, I returned to psychiatry and continue to love helping clients achieve their mental health goals.

My goals for you

I collaborate with you on setting goals and use both objective and subjective measures to track improvement in your well-being.

Our first session

We'll do a thorough review of your history and available records, discuss your diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment options, and perhaps explore some brief therapeutic interventions.
