Dr. Biliki "Billie" Douglas, DNP, PMHNP-BC

​

Hello!

Are you struggling? Feeling alone in your pain? Do you wish someone could listen and help you understand why this emotional pain won't go away? Are you looking for a way to feel better?

​

My name is Dr. Biliki “Billie” Douglas and I am a Board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I have been in nursing for over twenty years, and caring for people is my passion. After spending several years as a bedside nurse in various capacities – from emergency room (ER) to end of life care, I came to understand and appreciate the importance of treating the “whole” person – body and mind. As a nurse psychiatrist, I take pride in listening to my patients to understand their concerns and struggles, meet them where they are, and provide the help they need. When you work with me, I aim to partner with you on your mental “wholeness” journey. I provide guidance while following your lead. I encourage and support your autonomy and decision-making ability about your care.

​

I am certified to treat patients of all ages (child, adult, and older adult) and I have successfully cared for individuals struggling with various mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, mood disorder, ADHD, sleep disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, thought disorders, and many more. I am here to support and help you. With my vast knowledge, experience, and expertise, I am confident we can work together to create a treatment plan suitable for your overall mental health. Everyone has a purpose in life; everyone has their "Why" and the wind beneath their wings that propels them in life. Let me support you to find the wind beneath your wings!

 

Tool:

I use an evidence-based practice approach to treat my patients. This approach includes using assessment tools and interviews to obtain adequate presenting symptoms that allow me to formulate an effective treatment plan. I also use the telehealth video platform to provide care to patients in the comfort of their home, work, or office by eliminating travel inconvenience.

 

What to expect:

You can expect to take away a sense of IMPORTANCE and WORTHINESS. You will have an understanding of both your diagnosis and your treatment plan. Besides caring for my patients, I also educate patients about their diagnosis, treatment plan, and the overall impact their diagnosis have on their mental health. My goal is to provide this experience for you.

​

Strength:

My biggest strength is my ability to empathize with my patients. I am a great listener who is also compassionate, respectful, and understanding. I believe these qualities are evident in the care I provide to my patients. These qualities are crucial to properly caring for a patient's emotional need.
