"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." Lao Tzu
Advanced Mind Healing & Wellness is a virtual, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner owned and operated practice.
Here you will finally have convenient and accessible, integrative and functional psychiatric mental health care with empathy and compassion.
Convenient because you are able to have your sessions virtually through telehealth (video visits). This means no more taking the day off of work for appointments. No more battling traffic to get to a brick and mortar office. And if you want, you can have medication management AND therapy combined with the same provider. Or you can choose to do one or the other. But both are available here with Camella.
Accessible due to the frequent availability of same or next day appointments as well as early morning, evening, and weekend appointments that work around your life.
Integrative in that, while appropriate and conventional medications are prescribed, you will also be presented with complementary, alternative, traditional, natural treatments as well as information on how you can improve your symptoms through lifestyle changes and self-care measures.
Functional due to the focus on the root cause of your symptoms and any contributing factors. With this, optimal treatment results are more readily achievable.
You are treated with respect, kindness, and in a professional manner. You are listened to and supported. Your feelings and concerns are validated.
You have a knowledgeable and experienced psychiatric/mental health caregiver to partner with who challenges you a little when you need it, and gently guides you through hard times as well.
You are presented with appropriate evidenced based treatment options so that you can have a voice in your care and decide what is right for you. If you don't agree with your treatment plan, we will find any appropriate options that you can feel good about. Together we create your customized path to optimal wellness.
And you are given enough time for your sessions to do all of these things so that you receive high quality thorough care.

Camella Granara
MSN APRN FNP-BC PMHNP-BC
Advanced Mind Healing & Wellness is the virtual mental health and psychiatric practice of nurse practitioner Camella Granara.
Camella started her career as a registered nurse in 1995, became a board certified family nurse practitioner in 2011, earned a certification in health coaching in 2013, and in 2024 fulfilled a major long term career goal of returning to grad school and becoming a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC).
Throughout her career she has always been most passionate about helping people achieve optimal wellness, get through difficult times, and supporting them through major life transitions. From the start she recognized the connection between mind and body and could see how mental health impacted physical health and vice versa. She found in treating physical health problems, many times the root cause was from the mind as a result of significant stressors and traumas. And certainly when people have medical problems, this in turn impacts their mental health.
These observations have lead to a lifelong career considering the entirety of a person and the environment around them when caring for her clients, who recognize the positive impact on their health and appreciate this approach. They often remark, that no other professional has shared the important information Camella has. She will often tell her clients that the best treatment plan is the one that they feel comfortable with and believe in. Clients often remark that with Camella they have received time and care from her that far surpasses the other professionals they have consulted with.
Camella believes that a diverse world gives our lives depth and texture. She works with all people, where they are, and recognizes that everyone has good in them.
And you can be assured that, working with Camella, you can be fully yourself. Advanced Mind Healing & Wellness is a safe place for all.
What is most important is that you are getting better over time, and that you can live your life with calm and joy. With Camella, you will find that this is easier than you could ever have imagined.
