My name is Dr. Josh Waddell, DNP, PMHNP-BC, and I am an integrative psychiatric provider dedicated to healing through identifying root causes of illness. I believe true healing occurs when we understand and address the imbalances within a person’s life. My approach is holistic and individualized, incorporating medication management, psychotherapy, and complementary and alternative interventions.
I have over 15 years of experience in mental health, having worked as a case manager, therapist, and psychiatric nurse practitioner. My work has spanned a wide range of settings, from sitting at the bedside in hospital rooms, to outpatient clinics in rural areas of Tennessee and Florida.
I am a double graduate of Vanderbilt University, earning both my MSN and DNP with a focus in psychiatric mental health. I also hold a master’s degree in clinical mental health and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Tennessee Technological University.
In addition to my clinical practice, I serve as teaching faculty at Yale University in the PMHNP program and am the host of the podcast Mental Maps, where I explore the intersection of mental health, meaning, and integrative care.
