Crystal Marshall
Hello, my name is Crystal Marshall, I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I recently moved to Oregon from Utah with my husband and our very spoiled cat. We are enjoying the scenery and love to go for walks and frequent drives to see the ocean, waterfalls, and all the other beautiful and interesting things to be found in Oregon.
I graduated from Frontier Nursing University located in Kentucky and completed my clinical rotations at Valley Behavioral Health in Utah. The experiences I had with community mental health in Utah provided invaluable learning and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with a variety of clients, experiencing a range of mental health issues.
I place a high value on holistic and outcome-based client care that considers the whole person and their unique circumstances and needs. I feel like treatments work best when the client is an active participant in their own care, so I work hard to make sure my clients understand what their options are, and the risks and benefits associated with those options.
I look forward to meeting and working with you!
