Meet The Team
Jennifer Coates, ARNP
I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with six years of experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I have an additional two years of inpatient psychiatric nursing experience, which has given me insight into the aspects of mental health treatment and engagement that a community can provide to increase resilience and decrease the likelihood of inpatient hospitalization. I place high value on identifying and developing the inherent strengths of the clients I work with. Through Silver Pine Mental Health, I am able to offer outpatient mental health care to my community with the goal of preserving and improving functioning of the clients I work with, as well as partnering with the community to challenge the negative perceptions of clients receiving and engaging in mental health care. results-driven professionals include psychiatric nurse practitioners and advanced nurse practitioners.
Christina Pike, ARNP
Christina truly believes that large portions of psychiatric complaints are a manifestation of illness in the body, poor diet, stress, or any combination of the aforementioned causes. She has spent more than a decade researching the connection between the gut and the brain and realizes the intricate pathways affected by what we consume. Furthermore, the standard American diet is potentially a beacon for psychiatric disease as it destroys the body through inflammation. This inflammation in conjunction with genetics manifests as depression, eating disorders, anxiety, etc. Christina uses a combination of herbs, vitamins, diet, and medication to help alleviate psychiatric symptoms.
