Rachel Adams, DNP

Rachel has over a decade of clinical experience as a nurse practitioner treating a wide array of chronic and acute mental health issues in both outpatient and inpatient settings. Rachel also helped create the curricula for Idaho State University’s psychiatric nurse practitioner program and worked there as an adjunct professor from 2013 to 2016. She believes each person has unique qualities that make them different and that treatment of mental health issues should therefore be designed for the individual. Rachel is skilled in diagnosing mental health issues, and at helping patients understand the benefits and risks of psychiatric medications. She is also gifted at collaborating with other medical providers and CAM practitioners as a way of helping patients meet their specific wellness goals.
