Hi! My name is Felicia Gathings. I’m a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, with over a decade of experience. I graduated with my Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University and went on to complete a nurse practitioner certification and doctoral degree at the University of Southern Mississippi. In 2021-2024, my services as a Nurse Practitioner allowed me and a colleague to be voted best counseling services in Columbus, MS. I’m an advocate for victims of intimate partner violence and use the trauma informed care approach when engaging patients with histories of trauma. Deep Connections Mental Health Services was created to help patients heal from past traumas and experiences. My doctoral project title was "Evaluating the Effectiveness of Adverse Childhood Experiences and Trauma Informed Care Training for Mental Health Nurses."

Hi! My name is Latara Lee. I’m a dual board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, with over 15 years of diverse nursing experience. I graduated with my Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University in 2019, completing a family nurse practitioner certification and receiving my psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner certification in 2024. My purpose lies in helping individuals achieve mental wellness through compassionate and evidence-based care. I believe that mental health is just as important as physical health, and my goal is to create a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental space where patients feel heard, understood and empowered. I'm here to help patients regain balance and clarity. Using a holistic approach, I tailor treatment plans to support their unique journey toward healing and well-being.
