As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, my focus is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that supports individuals through complex emotional and behavioral health challenges. I work with clients experiencing ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, PTSD, women’s mental health concerns, and those seeking LGBTQ+ affirming care. I also frequently support children and adolescents, as well as pregnant and postpartum individuals navigating mental health symptoms during major life transitions.
My approach is grounded in partnership, respect, and individualized care. I believe each person is the expert in their own lived experience, and my role is to listen deeply, provide education, and tailor treatment plans that help reduce distress and restore balance.
I prioritize consistency, trust, and collaboration, especially for those who have felt unheard in healthcare settings. My goal is to empower clients with knowledge and tools so symptoms feel more manageable and life feels more in their control.
Take the first step to help. Call or Marla Lepley-Starr now - (980) 577-1297
