Hello!!! I am Heather Lett and I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. My journey began long ago with my own issues leading me to embark on a more natural approach to healing. As I went through nursing school, I remember thinking… we are taught to embrace our care around someone’s whole self. This meant… physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, and social. As a nursing student, I saw mostly only the physical being taken care of (with the exception of some very good nurses that also allowed for mental or spiritual) and that was not going to work for me. Sure, I could have taken a more conventional path incorporating some of this, but I just couldn’t do it. I found a career that did allow me to practice in this way. I was able to work with first time moms, building relationships, and learning about their entire self and life along with their families. Prior to nursing school, I did want to do therapy but decided nursing could offer more areas to work in.

My desire to serve in mental health only grew as I learned more and more about this in the work I was doing with families. This brought me to furthering my education which also came with more learning on how I wanted to serve and not to serve others. I loved my clinical experience but I kept thinking… I am not just a work horse that passes meds.. I am more than that and so are others. I felt so strongly about this that I ended up seeking out other ways! Once again, I started my career in a more alternative setting with some very helpful individuals already practicing in more natural ways! Through more growth and more learning and my previous experiences, I am now here. I am on this path and journey of believing we are not to be placed in a box and we are NOT to place GOD in a box. We were given these bodies and the tools to create wellness so that we may live more stable, healthier, and happier lives… we just need to get back to it!

I love working with most populations. I am happy to talk further with a free 15 minute consultation to discuss if partnering with me would be beneficial for you! While I do have a lot of experience in the parental world, I have a passion for all! Also, you don’t have to wait to become pregnant to learn how best to help your mind and body. You can come prior to pregnancy and learn how to best support not only your body, but your baby’s physical and mental health. As we know, brain development is so important in utero and I would love the opportunity to help support you all the way! Of course, I love to work with any symptoms of mental health from depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, trauma (big or little), addictions, and many more! Just reach out and let’s talk about it!

Whether you are on your way to seeking out healthier options and /or looking for an alternative because you have already gone down every other path, I would love to join you. Life is not perfect and can be very messy at times, but wouldn’t it be great to be able to meet those challenges head on and it not feel so hard while doing so?!

Let me walk with you… not run… as you begin your new journey, and I will meet you where you are!! It only takes a small change to start seeing growth. Let me help you sort out this beautiful mess we call life!
