My name is Diane Scagliola, and I am a dedicated psychiatric nurse practitioner with a deep passion for mental health care. Since embarking on my journey in nursing, I have been driven by a commitment to support individuals facing mental health challenges and to help them achieve optimal well-being. My career began with a foundational education in nursing, where I quickly realized the profound impact mental health has on every aspect of a person's life.
Throughout my clinical experiences, I witnessed the resilience and vulnerability of patients coping with psychiatric disorders. These encounters inspired me to specialize in psychiatric and mental health nursing, leading me to pursue advanced studies and obtain board certification as a psychiatric nurse practitioner. In this role, I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and therapeutic interventions for children and adolescents.
My approach to care is patient-centered. I believe in building trusting relationships, fostering open communication, and collaborating with patients and their families to create personalized treatment plans. Over the years, I have advocated for reducing mental health stigma and increasing access to quality psychiatric care within my community.
As I continue in my practice, I remain committed to lifelong learning and professional development. I strive to stay current with evidence-based practices and to create a safe, supportive environment where each individual feels heard, respected, and empowered on their journey toward recovery.
