Dawn Hagerman, PMHNP-BC

Hello! My name is Dawn, and I am a licensed and board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner here at SAGE! I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from the University of South Alabama, specializing in Psychiatry, and my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Thomas Edison State University. My experience involves over 14 years in Mental and Behavioral Health. I have experience with children, adolescents, adults, and families in a variety of settings: Adolescent Psychiatric Community Group Home, Outpatient Community Behavioral Health, Emergency Crisis Department, and an Inpatient Psychiatric Unit. My passion is working with children, adolescents, and young adults but I am certainly willing to help anyone in need of mental health treatment. I start each patient with a full comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation, to develop a Diagnosis and Treatment Plan. I offer Medication Management to improve symptoms and I provide Psychoeducation to develop coping strategies. I am very empathetic, supportive, and motivated in developing trusting relationships with my patients. I am understanding of each patient’s personal needs, and I am devoted to enhancing my patient’s quality of life. I provide integrated high-quality care to patients using a holistic approach. I believe it’s important to recognize the whole person and not just symptoms. I consider one’s mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual needs in promoting and maintaining both physical and mental health. The mind, body, and spirit all interconnect and are vital in achieving optimal health. I am here at SAGE to provide hope, support, balance, and peace in helping my patients see the light to obtain inner healing and happiness!
