Provider Spotlight: Shannon Darling, PMHNP

Shannon and I came up with the ICC together through our shared vision of building community amongst providers, as well as a shared passion for collaborative care. She is the Clinical Director of the ICC, as well as Owner and Clinician in her practice, Wild Heart Integrative Health Services. Between spending time with me, parenting our 10 month old daughter, and her other two children, she tends to have her hands full! She also recently published an article on Ketamine Assisted Therapy, which you can read here. With that, I’ll take it away to the interview portion!

He has a background as a scientist. He is also a trained Chinese Medicine practitioner, so it all makes for a very cool blend of offerings!
