About Tina

Hello! I am Dr. Tina Denise McDyess, a dedicated healthcare professional with extensive experience in nursing and mental health. I hold a PhD in Nursing Leadership and a Doctorate in Christian Education. As a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I am passionate about helping my patients find balance and well-being. I've worked directly with patients in mental health settings, offering therapy, medication management, and support to patients across the life span (ages 5 to 85). I've helped clients develop skills, manage behavior, and create plans for better mental and emotional health. I have experiences in treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, ODD, bipolar disorder, mood disorders, and trauma. I began my journey in healthcare with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, followed by a Bachelor's and Master's in Nursing. Over the years, I've had the privilege of teaching and guiding nursing students at both the clinical and academic levels. My teaching experience includes various subjects such as mental health, leadership, and professional development. When I'm not caring for patients, I love to travel and spend time with my family. I also ensure to stay updated by reading some of latest mental health research and participating in ongoing education. I believe in providing compassionate, evidence-based care to everyone I have the pleasure of assisting. Feel free to reach out—I'm here to help you on your journey to better health and well-being! *Specialties •Mental Health *Conditions treated •Depression •Anxiety •Bipolar disorders •Schizophrenia •PTSD •ADHD •Mood disorders •Trauma •Panic attacks *Treatment philosophy At Inner Peace Mental Wellness Center, we believe that true healing begins from within.

Regular monitoring allows for adjustments to the treatment plan, while I also encourage healthy lifestyle choices to enhance overall well-being.
