Live weekly mentorship program for students and new grads coming soon!
Meet our Psych NP!
I’m Darla Carter, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in nursing. My approach is rooted in faith, clinical excellence, and a deep belief in the power of connection. I founded Sound Mind Health to walk alongside you—not just as a provider, but as a partner. Here, your diagnosis doesn’t define you, but understanding it empowers you.
Together, we’ll create a treatment plan that honors your voice, supports your vision, and includes not only medication- (if warranted) but also the lifestyle and environmental strategies proven to support mental wellness. Research continues to show that integrated care—addressing sleep, nutrition, movement, relationships, and purpose—improves mental health outcomes. I’m here to make sure those pieces are part of your healing journey.
Personally? My happy place is the beach, where the sound of the waves reminds me of God’s steady peace. I believe laughter is medicine too—especially when shared with good company and a scoop of chocolate ice cream! Faith has always been my anchor, and I bring that same strength and compassion into every session.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply seeking clarity in a chaotic world, you don’t have to do it alone. At Sound Mind Health, we move forward—together
