“And still I rise.” -Mayo Angelo
Dr. Aleshia Dennis is a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who will be providing medication management to patients with mental health disorders, psychiatric evaluations, and medical cannabis certifications for qualified patients. Currently in the state of Mississippi the current psychiatric conditions that qualify for medical cannabis are Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and certain conditions associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder. All patients will need to have a thorough screening and evaluation completed by Dr. Dennis to assist with determining if medical cannabis is appropriate. Patients must be 25 years or older. A brief screening by a certified counselor will be completed via phone prior to an in-person office visit to assist with determining if patients have one of the qualifying psychiatric conditions listed above.
Our goal at Uplifting Minds is to provide compassionate care in a patient friendly environment and break the stigma associated with mental health conditions.
