I cannot recommend Sharon B. of Renewing Mindsets enough!!! Sharon helped me out of a really dark place and I truly look forward to our appointments because she makes you feel like you’re talking to your best friend!! She is funny, empathetic, and works to really collaborate with you and your needs rather than just talking at you and doing what she thinks is best! Again, I cannot rave about her more! I’m so grateful to have found this incredible provider!!

It’s been a breath of fresh air working with Sharon. She truly listens and works with the highest level of professionalism. Sharon not only wants to get the the root of the problem, she also thinks about the entire picture before making a decision. I highly recommend Renewing Mindsets!

Hi, I'm Ashley W. MSN, PMHNP-BC
Hi there! I'm Ashley, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have experience treating various mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and sleep disorders. I have been working in the mental health field for eight years. I started my career as an Associate degree registered nurse in geriatric psychiatry. Later, I completed my undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree at Wilmington University. I have worked in the crisis and inpatient adult behavioral healthcare settings at my local community hospital, providing acute psychiatric care to patients across the lifespan. I then received a Master of Science in Nursing at Walden University. I am a member of the Sigma Theta Tau Nursing Honor Society and the American Nurses Association. I currently work in an outpatient practice setting providing mental healthcare to adults (ages 18 to 65) with various mental health disorders. My approach to care focuses on creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their feelings and experiences without judgment. I look forward to meeting you soon! * Currently I do not offer formal neuropsychological assessments or treatment management for ADHD. *Currently I do not prescribe controlled scheduled Stimulants or Benzodiazepines for virtual clients. *I'm currently available for only virtual telemedicine appointments for adult clients in PA.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first 60-90 minute visit, there will be a focus on building a positive therapeutic alliance between the provider and the client. At this initial session, we will discuss the client’s current psychiatric symptoms, past psychiatric history, social history, and past medical history. The initial comprehensive psychiatric evaluation will aid in the formulation of an accurate mental health diagnosis and assist the provider and client with collaborating on an individualized treatment plan.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize a collaborative teamwork approach when providing care to my patients. Establishing shared decision-making is essential when developing an individualized treatment plan with my patients. I use validated screening tools, evidence-based practice treatment, and the DSM-5 to aid me in formulating an accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment plan. If your individualized treatment plan includes treatment with psychotropic medications, lab work will be required before starting medications. This ensures you're medically stable, rules out potential medical causes for your psychiatric symptoms, and avoids contraindications. I prescribe FDA and off-label psychotropic medications (if appropriate).*Medication changes and refills are only performed during scheduled follow-up appointments.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Although I have had the opportunity and clinical experience to treat various mental health disorders, the treatment of anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder are my greatest expertise. I strive to develop the safest, most effective, and uniquely tailored treatment plan for your individualized mental healthcare needs. My kindness, patience, and empathetic treatment approach enable me to build positive and lasting therapeutic provider-patient relationships. Remember that your mental health is a priority, so my priority as a provider is to guide you in achieving your optimal mental well-being.
