Hello! My name is Kerry Tucker and I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I became a nurse 12 years ago. When I first became a nurse, I worked in home health nursing, geriatric nursing, and case management. In 2018 I decided to pursue higher education in nursing and in 2020 I graduated with my masters degree in nursing and became a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Before nursing I worked in business management and I also have a masters degree in business management with a human resources specialization.

I employ a holistic approach to mental health care as one’s mental health can also affect their physical well-being. Nutrition, sleep, and exercise all play important parts in one’s mental and physical well-being. During your evaluation and treatment, we will explore appropriate treatment options that may include medication. Education about medication is vital to my approach as one needs to feel comfortable with the medication they are prescribed.

I work with all ages and my special areas of interest include working with children and adolescents, working with the LBGTQIA+ population, addiction medicine, and working with individuals with autism spectrum disorder. I am dedicated to providing personalized care and ensuring your well-being with comprehensive evaluations and treatments.

On a personal note, I live in the beautiful state of West Virginia and I love to travel, read, camp, and spend time with my family and pets.
