Our focus as seasoned mental health care providers is to provide a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation with treatment options for a variety of mental health concerns,” said Jennifer Erdman, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC, founder of Rapid City Mental Health Professionals LLC. “We achieve this by providing a neutral, safe environment so patients can express their concerns and assist in devising a plan of care. We accomplish this through patient involvement along with their support systems.”
Jennifer and her experienced providers Amy Newstrom, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC, LP-C, QMHP, and Rachel Waddell, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC, are experienced in the selection of psychotropic medications. “If the patient is looking for alternate treatments, we promote healthy lifestyle changes, suggest medical grade supplements and are skilled genetic testing interpreters,” Amy said. “We offer a Spravato suite for treatment resistant depression and suicidal ideation. And for those patients looking for treatments that do not involve medication management, we can schedule sessions in our full body red LED light bed which treats a variety of issues from depression to chronic pain.”
Michele Delzer, FNP-BC, an accomplished nurse practitioner specializing in primary care, brings with her extensive knowledge of pain management to Rapid City Mental Health. Michele joined the group to provide a well-rounded experience for the patient seeking one health care facility to meet most of their needs.
All four nurse practitioners possess a vast array of unique nursing experiences and expertise — ranging from outpatient clinics, inpatient facilities, work with incarcerated individuals on probation or currently incarcerated, and with our young athletes. “Our nursing backgrounds prior to our graduate degrees involved work in the areas of ER, OB/GYN, labor and delivery, cardiology and wound care. Our vast experiences enable us to offer effective outpatient, individualized, mental health care,” Jennifer explained. The nurse practitioners at Rapid City Mental Health Professionals view their work as a privilege in helping the community that they are proud to be a part of.
