About Margaret
Hello, I'm Margaret Y Kamara, a dedicated and experienced healthcare provider specializing in mental health. As a licensed Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I am passionate about helping individuals and families achieve their highest level of mental well-being.

I hold a Doctor of Nursing Practice and multiple advanced degrees in nursing and healthcare management. My background encompasses comprehensive patient care, trauma nursing, and leadership roles across a variety of healthcare settings. I've had the privilege of working with veterans, leading residential mental health facilities, and serving as a director of nursing.

My approach to care is centered on creating personalized treatment plans that empower individuals through evidence-based practices. I am committed to facilitating a healthier path for anyone struggling with issues like anxiety, depression, PTSD, and mood disorders. Whether through medication management, brief therapy, or patient education, my intention is always to support and guide my patients toward a stable and improved quality of life.

I am also proactive in suicide prevention and medical readiness, owing to my rich military experience. Moreover, I provide mentorship and training to future healthcare professionals, always seeking to pass on my knowledge and expertise.

Please feel free to reach out if you believe we can navigate your journey toward mental wellness together. Your mental health matters, and I'm here to support you every step of the way.
