Katie Whitaker

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner-Board Certified (PMHNP-BC) and Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN). Experienced in the Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) and community mental healthcare field. Passionate about social justice and healthcare for underserved and marginalized populations. I am a strong believer in social justice and healthcare free from guilt and shame. I am passionate about supporting people on their healing journey to become their healthiest, happiest, and most empowered selves. “I believe that we all have the power to tap into our own inner healer and find our way towards wellness. The ability to heal is within all of us. Sometimes we just need some support to get there.” My focus is on holistic treatment models and emerging psychedelic-assisted therapies specializing in substance use disorder and mental health, and I utilize an integrative approach to complementary therapies (including medications) to assist clients in their recovery. I am a National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) Certified Acudetox Technician (CADT), and Certified Recovery Coach (CRC), and completed my 300-hr training to become a certified Ayurveda wellness coach. I have also completed the 100-hr training with Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) in MDMA-assisted therapy and am in the supervision portion of my certificate in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy with Polaris Insight Center. I hold a Master’s degree in Nursing (MSN) from Frontier Nursing University, where I completed my Psychiatric Mental Health training and am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC).
