Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
With over a decade of experience spanning intensive care, emergency medicine, and family practice, Angela Oakley, PMHNP, brings a uniquely integrated view of the mind-body connection to her psychiatric work.
Education and Background
Angela built her clinical foundation through years of work in intensive care, emergency medicine, and family practice before earning her post-master’s certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Her time as a family nurse practitioner taught her the importance of integrated, whole-person care, where each patient’s overall wellness is supported by a collaborative healthcare team. That broad experience gives her a perspective that few providers bring to psychiatric care, and it’s especially valuable for patients who may be new to mental health treatment or who have complex needs.
Care Philosophy
Angela believes in working alongside her patients and other healthcare providers to ensure well-rounded, effective treatment. Her patients can expect her full attention, knowing she values their journey and is committed to addressing their unique needs with kindness, patience, and understanding.
She is dedicated to evidence-based practices and continuous learning, always looking for new ways to help her patients become the best versions of themselves. Her goal at the end of each day is simple: to know that she delivered care with the same compassion she’d want for her own loved ones.
Personal Interests
Outside of the clinic, Angela finds balance through family time, nature, and physical activity. Her daughters are her pride and joy, and the family stays busy with two horses and equestrian show jumping. She also has three beloved dogs, one of whom already serves as a therapy dog in her ketamine clinic, with another currently in training. Angela’s love for yoga, the ocean, and the outdoors helps her recharge and stay centered, and that sense of balance is something she carries into the care she provides every day.
What to Expect
In sessions with Angela, patients can expect a provider who is warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in their well-being. She creates a space where every individual feels heard and valued, and she takes the time to understand the full picture before building a plan together.
