More about Traci:

Traci Powell is dual board certified as a neonatal nurse practitioner and a psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioner.

Prior to opening her mental health practice, Traci worked in Level 4 NICUs for over 22 years; first as a bedside nurse, then as a neonatal nurse practitioner for over 9 years.
