About Debra

Hello! My name is Debra Sicilian, and I'm a dedicated Nurse Practitioner. With extensive experience across psychiatric, long-term care, rehabilitation, acute care, neurological, and hospice settings, I pride myself on delivering comprehensive and compassionate care to my patients. I specialize in crisis psychiatric care, working tirelessly to reduce hospitalizations and improve patient outcomes. My role involves collaborating closely with a team to enhance therapeutic and medication strategies for the best possible results. We've successfully launched a program serving tens of thousands across multiple states. In past roles, I have provided holistic, patient-centered care, focusing on effective communication with patients and their families. My experience spans from offering acute psychiatric care to those in need to managing neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's. I am passionate about treating patients and educating and mentoring new healthcare professionals. This ensures they have the skills to offer exceptional and holistic care. My dedication to this field has earned praise for my critical thinking, problem-solving, and ability to stay calm in stressful situations. I am certified and licensed in multiple states and hold psychiatric and adult-gerontology primary care certifications. Thank you for considering me as your healthcare provider. I look forward to partnering with you on your health journey!
