Who We Are
Linda P. Sillars AMHNP-BC
Linda P. Sillars, AMHNP-BC has been a nurse for 40 years, has 35 years experience in psychiatry and has spent 17 years as a Nurse Practitioner. Today, as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, she is working in Private Practice in Saco, Maine.
As a Nurse Practitioner, Linda has worked with veterans recently discharged from active duty in Afghanistan and Iraq. She has run groups with Adult Survivors of sexual abuse. She spent four years working on an interdisciplinary ACT Team with Catholic Charities of Maine. The ACT Team is multidisciplinary in function consisting of Psychiatry, RN's, Chemical Dependency Counselors, Vocational Counselors and Peer Specialists. In this role, she helped people with chronic mental illness gain control of their lives by advising on housing, work, medical and psychiatric monitoring and social integration. This team worked together to keep patients housed, working, out of the hospital and out of the Corrections System.
Treatment Focus
In Private Practice, Linda has worked with people from all walks of life. She has cared for other psychologists, mental health professionals, RN's, Dr's and all other kinds of healthcare workers. She has also worked with business professionals at all different stages in their careers as well as CEO's and business owners. There is no one immune from the need for good mental health. Her vast range of patient experiences has been able to give her a lifetime of knowledge of the types of conditions that can prevent anyone from maintaining positive mental health including trauma, anxiety, insomnia, undiagnosed ADHD and depression. These types of conditions respond extremely well with the right medication and the type of psychotherapy Linda offers.
The Patient Promise
If you feel that you could benefit by this sort of therapy, Linda's promise to you is that she will work diligently with every patient to help manage their symptoms, stabilize their medications (if necessary) and work with them to get to a point of stability so that they no longer have to suffer like they are without seeking any form of mental health treatment.
