Licensed in North Carolina, Maranda Hansley, PMHNP-BC, practices from a preventative, patient-centered model focused on helping individuals achieve stability, improve functioning, and reduce the likelihood of crisis-level care or hospitalization. She believes mental health treatment works best when patients are active participants in their care; therefore, shared decision-making, informed consent, and collaborative treatment planning are core elements of her approach.
Her style is warm, direct, and supportive, combining evidence-based psychiatric care with practical strategies patients can use in daily life. Maranda integrates trauma-informed principles into all aspects of treatment, recognizing how trauma and chronic stress impact emotional regulation, behavior, and overall wellbeing. She prioritizes creating a safe, respectful therapeutic environment that emphasizes empowerment, pacing, and strengths-based growth.
Maranda has extensive experience delivering care through telehealth and values improving access to mental health services for individuals who face barriers such as transportation limitations, geographic isolation, or limited local resources. Her telehealth practice emphasizes strong therapeutic rapport, continuity of care, and maintaining high clinical standards in virtual settings.**
Maranda is committed to providing inclusive, culturally responsive care and enjoys working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including racial and ethnic minorities and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. She strives to create a safe, affirming therapeutic space where patients feel respected, understood, and empowered to bring their full identities into treatment.
