Jeffrey Stevens, PMHNP-BC – Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
Jeffrey’s thrilled to join the Atracare team and give back to his home state as a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. He attended the University of Delaware, obtaining a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology with a pre-med concentration. Having discovered a newfound admiration for the nursing profession, Jeffrey also obtained an accelerated Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from Radford University Carillion. While continuing to work as a registered nurse and as a travel nurse, he acquired a Master of Science in Nursing Degree from Samford University’s (Sam, not Stan!) Master of Science in Nursing (M.S.N) Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner program.
Though he can provide care across the lifespan, Jeffrey has always had a passion for psychology and a desire to provide individualized, compassionate care for those with mental health disorders. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, he believes in providing quality, evidence-based, patient-centered care.
Born and raised in Sussex County, Delaware, Jeffrey loves living a coastal life in Rehoboth Beach. In his free time, he enjoys attending book conventions with his author wife as her favorite assistant and being a dog dad to his 62 lb mutt. As a self-proclaimed gaming enthusiast, he loves gaming in all its forms—video, board, table-top, and trading card. As he patiently awaits the next installment in the A Song of Ice and Fire series, he spends whatever extra free time he has going to the movies.
