Our Mental Health Team

At Transitions Behavioral Health, our team of specialized Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners provides compassionate, evidence-based care with a focus on holistic wellness and personalized treatment plans.

Velma Henn, PMHNP

Welcome! I’m Velma Henn, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 26 years of nursing experience and 4 years as a dedicated nurse practitioner. My journey in healthcare has been shaped by a commitment to holistic, compassionate care that addresses not only mental health challenges but also the lifestyle factors that contribute to overall well-being.

At Transitions Behavioral Health, I specialize in treating adolescents, adults, and professionals, with a particular focus on integrating holistic practices, nutritional psychiatry, and evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My goal is to help clients overcome mental health challenges by optimizing both physical and mental health, blending traditional treatment options with a focus on diet, nutrition, and lifestyle.

Additionally, I have a specialized interest in the mental health impacts of menopause and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), recognizing how hormonal shifts can play a pivotal role in emotional well-being. Whether we’re addressing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or insomnia, I aim to provide personalized, empathetic care that meets each client’s unique needs.

Outside of work, you’ll often find me walking my three Australian Shepherds or fishing – activities that keep me grounded and remind me of the importance of balance in life. I look forward to helping you on your journey toward mental wellness with a comprehensive approach designed just for you.
