Our Mental Health Provider
Hello! I’m
Dr. Sara Waterbury
APRN DNP PMHNP-BC
PSYCHIATRIC NURSE PRACTITIONER
My mission is to improve the lives of my patients everyday through providing consistent mental health care via evidence-based treatment modalities, in a holistic manner.
Florida native and resident of the Treasure Coast since 2001
I am a Florida native, University of Florida graduate, and a resident of the Treasure Coast since 2009; when I moved here to be closer to my grandfather, a World War II Navy Veteran, and a primary inspiration throughout my entire life. It was the role I played in the coordination of his healthcare that left such a tremendous impression on the importance of quality-of-life for all involved.
Professional Experience
My healthcare career path started as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), a Patient Care Technician (PCT) in 2009, and a Mental Health Technician (MHT) in 2011, working in private duty care as well as for Martin Memorial Health Systems and in Forensic Psychiatry as a Registered Nurse (RN) and completing training through the Psychiatric Mental Health NP program at UF (while being a new mom!). I transferred into the Case Management department with Martin Memorial and practiced primarily in their ER setting, coordinating mental health care needs (i.e., Substance Use/Recovery placements, Baker Act/Marchman Act placements), Hospice referrals and providing emotional support for patients and their families. I was blessed with the opportunity to work with Hospice as an admission and field RN; helping patients and their families during end-of-life stage.
Education
Indian River State College for both of my Undergraduate Nursing Degrees (Associates and Bachelor’s)
University of Florida graduate, with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice with a specialty in Psychiatric Mental Health (DNP, PMHNP)
