My name is Vanessa Underwood, PMHNP. I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with prescriptive authority practicing in Salem Oregon. PMHNP's are advanced practice nurses with graduate training in evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of mental health disorders. I see children, adolescents and adults for medication management. I also may do some combination of medication and therapy appointments. I received my Associate Nursing Degree from Chemeketa Community College, in Salem, OR. I advanced my education at Phoenix University, receiving my Bachelor in nursing. Finally, I completed my education at Oregon Health & Science University, receiving my Masters Degree in Nursing, specializing in psychiatric mental health care. Beyond my schooling, I gained experience working at Salem Hospital doing critical care nursing and dialysis. Before nursing, I worked for many years with people with developmental challenges and disabilities. I do not do disability evaluations.
