Marva Calder

Hi there, I'm Marva! I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Board Certify (PMHNP-BC), who employs evidence-based practice regimens in her work, particularly emphasizing the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of psychological disorders.

My approach

Marva emphasizes that a therapeutic encounter that is truly effective in bringing about enduring positive transformation relies on a nonjudgmental and collaborative connection as its core element.

My focus

Marva provided treatment for clients with ADHD, depressive disorders, anxiety, bipolar disorder, sleep disorders, schizophrenia, substance abuse, addiction, borderline personality disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), schizoaffective disorder, and other mental health conditions in adolescents and adults. She is a committed healthcare professional who puts a lot of effort into assisting each client in recovering and reintegrating into society through counseling, education, non-pharmaceutical therapies, and medication as necessary.

My communication style

Marva possesses a communication approach that is composed, open-minded, and pleasant. I want to create a secure and welcoming environment for all my clients, where they feel at ease discussing any topic. I possess a sense of satisfaction in my ability to engage in attentive listening without engaging in any form of judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

Having 24 years of experience in the healthcare sector, I am driven and persistent in my mission to assist individuals with mental illness. My family experiences a range of mental illnesses, including severe anxiety, depression, and Bipolar disorder. Driven by affection and encouragement for the mental well-being of all of my patients is my compassion. 

My goals for you

Marva believes it imperative to educate and empower those whom she works with, encouraging them to recognize their problems with mental health, explore potential therapies, and find their purpose. This approach is vital for reaching their treatment plan and goals.

My first session with you

Your first appointment will be focused on a complete psychiatric evaluation, during which I will learn about you and collaborate with you to develop a plan that is tailored to your specific requirements. I prioritize ensuring the client is actively involved in developing their treatment plan. At the end of the session, you will fully understand any diagnosis made, treatment plan, treatment benefits, and, if necessary, alternative treatments.
