About Me
Hi, I’m Amanda Wollschlager, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
My career in healthcare spans over 30 years, beginning as a volunteer “candy striper” in a rural Minnesota nursing home. That early experience sparked a lifelong passion for caring for others. I went on to become a CNA, then an LPN, working in pediatric home care and correctional/prison health.
As my passion for nursing grew, I returned to school to become an RN and eventually earned my BSN. Along the way, I gained experience in rural hospitals, residential addiction treatment, and care coordination. Today, as an advanced practice nurse, I work as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner both in the community and as a behavioral health consultant within the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM).
These diverse roles have shaped me into a compassionate, grounded provider who believes that mental health care must be individualized—because healing is never one-size-fits-all.
