Camella Granara
MSN APRN FNP-BC PMHNP-BC
I am a board certified family and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with many years of experience caring for the mental wellness of my patients.
Throughout my career I have always been most passionate about helping people achieve optimal wellness, get through difficult times, and supporting them through major life transitions.
Having started my career as a family nurse practitioner, I recognize the connection between mind and body and can see how mental health impacts physical health and vice versa.
When treating physical health problems, often enough the root cause is a result of significant stressors and traumas which caused inflammation leading to chronic illness. And certainly when people have medical problems, this in turn impacts their mental health.
These observations led me to a lifelong career considering the entirety of a person and the environment around them.
Further, my belief is that the best treatment plan is the one that my patients feel comfortable with and believe in. This approach has led me to great success in improving outcomes.
I also believes that a diverse world gives our lives depth and texture. And you can be assured that, working with me, you can be fully yourself. I provide a safe place for all.
