About Me

Amanda Hershey, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, CRNP, PMHNP

Welcome to Happy Mind RX, I'm excited you're here! I'm a dedicated board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and a Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner (CRNP) with over 18 years of experience in the healthcare and nursing field. My passion lies in psychiatry and endocrinology (particularly in helping individuals manage diabetes). I want to help my patients feel better from the inside out.

Throughout my career, I've worked with individuals facing a wide range of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, and more. What makes my practice stand out from the rest is my integrated approach, especially for those who are managing both mental health conditions and chronic physical conditions like diabetes.

I know how overwhelming it can feel when your emotional and physical health are out of sync.
That's why I offer compassionate, judgment-free care that looks at the whole picture—your mind, body, and daily life. I specialize in psychiatric medication management and create personalized care plans to support your unique needs and goals.

I understand how deeply diabetes can affect a person's mood, energy, habits, and outlook on life—and how that part is often ignored in traditional care. With years of hands-on experience, I'm able to offer a rare service that blends mental health care with diabetes support to help you feel more in control, more supported, and more like yourself again.

I believe in creating a safe, collaborative space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Whether you're seeking help with mood, stress, or the mental load that comes with managing diabetes, I'm here to guide you and develop a personalized treatment plan that works well for you.

*Please Note:

I do not prescribe any controlled substances such as Benzodiazepines or stimulants.

Holistic

Open-Minded

Humorous

 I believe every client deserves to feel heard, respected, and empowered to make informed decisions regarding their treatment. With a strong clinical background, I support not only mental health needs but also help manage diabetes, stress, and weight-related concerns. Care should be both accessible and convenient, which is why all services are offered through secure telehealth—so you can get the support you need from the comfort and privacy of your own home, without the added stress of travel or tight schedules.

Bringing a positive outlook—and a touch of humor—into each session, I aim to make the treatment process feel hopeful, human, and sustainable. I treat my clients with the same respect and dignity that I would want for myself. My goal is to support your unique wellness journey, build trust, and help you feel more comfortable and confident in managing your mental and physical health. Together, we'll work toward a healthier, more balanced version of yourself.

What Sets Me Apart

The First of It's Kind: Care That Connects the Mind and Body

Over the years, I've gained a deep understanding of the connection between chronic illnesses like diabetes and mental health, which inspired me to pursue additional education and training. I provide integrated care that bridges the gap between physical health and emotional well-being. Whether you're seeking psychiatric medication management on its own or alongside diabetes care, stress management, or weight loss support—I offer my services from the comfort of your surroundings through telehealth sessions.

It is an absolute privilege to endorse Amanda Hershey, PMHNP, an exceptional nurse practitioner whose clinical expertise, compassion and unwavering commitment to patient care set a high standard in our profession. She truly exemplifies the best of us.

Integrated Diabetes
and Mental Health Care in Pennsylvania and Maryland

Many people living with diabetes also face mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, or emotional burnout—but finding a provider who understands and treats both is nearly impossible. That's where I come in.

I offer something truly unique: integrated psychiatric care that includes both medication management for mental health and support for managing diabetes. This whole-person approach recognizes that your mental and physical health are deeply connected—and both deserve attention.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by your diagnosis, struggling to stay on track with treatment, or dealing with emotional eating, mood swings, or burnout—I'm here to help. Together, we'll create a plan that's realistic, supportive, and centered around your life. You don't have to navigate this alone. You deserve care that treats all of you.

How to Get Started

Scheduling your Telehealth appointment is simple and convenient.

I know that scheduling an appointment and reaching out for help can be one of the hardest parts—it takes courage and is a big step. Whether you're new to psychiatric care or continuing with support from another provider, I am truly honored you've chosen me to be part of your journey.

I'm here to listen, understand your story, and work with you to create a plan that fits your life. You don't have to do this alone. I'm looking forward to getting to know you and walking with you toward better mental health and overall well-being.
