The Behavioral Health Pro Podcast: Recent Episodes
Marina Vidrine
The latest behavioral health insights, in real talk language, from actual practitioners in the field.
Jennifer Alexander RN, BSN, PMHNP-BC has been working in the field of nursing since 2006. In that time she has worked with patients from all walks of life. She discovered her passion for addiction treatment while in nursing school at Saint Francis Medical -Center College of Nursing and it was rekindled during her graduate education at University of Illinois at Chicago. She fell in love with the field of psychiatry while working in a community mental health clinic as a RN, and continued her education to obtain her master’s in psychiatric nursing to be able to provide more intensive care to people in need. She has a combined experience in the treatment of a variety of mental health disorders as well as the disease of addiction and even more so when these conditions collide. She is unconventional in her approach as she feels there is more to a person than a diagnosis and more to treatment than a pill. She continues to advocate for the whole individual’s health and wellness which is not always found in a textbook. She finds the time she spends with her clients an honor, and considers it a privilege to be a part of their overall mental and physical growth.
