Kelly Fink - Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
I started my working life as an airman in the USAF while I figured out what my calling was. I was drawn to nursing, and I became a labor and delivery and emergency department nurse. It was a wild and fulfilling ride, but I wanted to be able to do more with my skills to serve patients to the fullest extent of my capabilities.This is where my time as a family nurse practitioner came about, and I have loved every minute of it. While it has been a great seven years, I have found our community to be lacking psychiatric providers. I have seen patients suffer because of this with increasing suicide rates, anxiety, depression, and the additional conditions that these diagnoses can cause.Whole Mind Whole Body Health is here to provide patients who are looking for thorough care that isn't rushed. It's a practice dedicated to listening to patients and all their concerns. I'm here to be part of the solution. I'm here to provide well-rounded, whole-person care to get you back to where you want to be.

Audrey Briggs - Administrative Assistant Intern
I’m Audrey, a second-year psychology student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature, along with a Spanish minor. After graduation, I will be working towards becoming a Clinical Psychologist. I have found that there is a wonderful intersection between my two passions of English and Psychology: empathy. Both subjects look at the human experience, and how the stories we have shape our beliefs, behaviors, and thoughts. I believe that empathy is the key to building authentic human connections, and I strive to embody this in my everyday life. Outside of my academic life, I enjoy reading, writing, watching sitcoms, and spending quality time with loved ones. I look forward to making a positive difference in the lives of others by working with Under the Tree Counseling!
