LAURA PORTER, PMHNP

Laura received her Bachelor's of Science in Nursing and her Master’s in Nursing Education from Grand Canyon University. She completed her Post Master’s Certification for Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner from Regis College. She has 15+ years of experience working in critical care and psychiatry working with a range of age groups from children to geriatrics, as well as, training and educating other nurses as an advanced-level educator. Through Laura vast experience it became evident to her that her passion is in psychiatry, especially from seeing so many individuals with severe medical issues also struggle with psychiatry issues. Being a member of the critical care team during the COVID pandemic has put into perspective a higher need and importance of mental health. Her drive to help individuals and her passion for mental health motivated her to focus her patient care to be entirely mental health. With that, Laura takes a patient-centered approach to mental health while embracing individuality and diversity.
