I’m Kendra Delaney (she/her) and I’m a double board certified psychiatric mental health and adult primary care nurse practitioner in Nashville, TN. I grew up in the Northeast, but after moving to Nashville to attend Vanderbilt for my bachelor's in psychology, I fell in love with the school, my now-husband, and this city, and I’ve never looked back. In 2017 I graduated Vanderbilt University School of Nursing with my psychiatric nurse practitioner degree with one simple mission: to empower people to heal their hearts and their bodies. Since that time, I have worked with countless folx with mood disorders; perinatal and postpartum anxiety and PMDD; ADHD; PTSD and dissociative disorders; and disordered eating. Pulling from my experience as an psychiatric nurse practitioner, my role as an Assistant Professor at Vanderbilt University School of Nursing, and my training in integrative psychiatric and functional medicine through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute and Institute for Functional Medicine, in 2020 I started Empowered Heart to pursue my dream of providing holistic mental healthcare to all. I aim to work with you to create a treatment plan that moves you towards your health goals. By incorporating medicine, lifestyle changes, herbs, supplements, psychotherapy and mind-body interventions, I tailor each treatment plan to your unique needs. I look forward to meeting you, and to walking alongside you in your path to healing!
