Dr. Anise Tatiana Wheeler, DNP, FNPc, ANPc, PMHNPc, MSHCA. 

I am a doctoral prepared-nurse practitioner holding dual board-certification in psychiatry and family medicine. I  hold a master degree in Health Care Management from Johns Hopkins University. I have received my certification in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) from Duke University School of Medicine. I specialize in the treatment of mental disorders among adolescents ages 15 to 18, adults, ages 19 to 65, and elderlies, ages 65+. My experience includes managing depression, anxiety, trauma, psychosis, attention deficit disorder, early dementia, anger, stress, TMAU related anxiety, insomnia, fibromyalgia and other pain-control issues. I provide conventional psychotropic and anti-neuropathic meds management, often combined with individualized complementary interventions. I use whole foods plant-based psycho-nutrition, daily brain booster vitamins and/or nutritional pain supplements coupled with mindfulness, talk therapy and pain reprocessing modalities in order to help my clients achieve their optimal state of wellness--mind, body & spirit. I currently collaborate with Dr. Kristel Carrington, a Yale University-prepared physician who received her psychiatric training at the NYU Langone Health.

PMHNPs (Psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners):  Trained to assess your mental health needs just as a psychiatrist would, we formulate healthcare plans, implement treatment, and evaluate the effectiveness of short- and long-term progress. They often use integrative therapeutic methods including medications.

Out-of-Network Billings Option:  When providers are not in-network with any insurance companies, but provide the option of Superbills, allowing patients open a claim and get reimbursed by their insurance companies.

Psychoeducation: Evidence-based interventions integrating emotional and motivational practices in order to help patients cope with their illness and improve the efficacy of their treatments.

Plant-based Brain Diet: The consumption of powerful Plant-Based super foods for the brain while avoiding foods that are bad for the brain.

Brain Plasticity or Neuroplasticity: The brain ability to create new connection and grow in order to enhance existing cognitive capabilities.

Brain Booster Vitamins: Vitamins that can support and maximize cognitive function.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS): It is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of chronic drug-resistant depression.

Collaborative Physician: In some states, nurse practitioners must sign a written collaborative agreement with a specialized MD or DO in order to practice.

 

Why Choosing Valley Psychiatric Health & Wellness?

 
 

Psychiatric MeD Management + Brain Booster Vitamins + Plant-Based diet + Psychoeducation

At VIP Health & Wellness, each client is unique. Therefore, we do not simply focus on prescribing psychotropic medication management. Along with meds management, we offer to our patients tailored psychoeducational interventions to help them develop specific communication and problem-solving skills. In addition, we educate them on plant-based diet combined with daily intake of brain booster vitamins for maximum brain health. Currently, we are not in-network with insurances at this time (meaning that we only see self-pay patients using credit cards, ATM, or Health Saving Account [HSA]).

We can support you in getting reimbursement from your insurance company if you are seeking out-of-network reimbursement by providing you a Superbill to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
