Vanessa Martinez, PA-C

Vanessa earned her Bachelor of Science degree from Brigham Young University-Idaho and her Master’s degree in Physician Assistant studies from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Science in Manchester, New Hampshire. She graduated with honors. For four years, she has served the mental health population in her hometown of Blackfoot, Idaho as a community based rehabilitation worker. She is grateful to practice in the beautiful state of Utah, advocating for the mental health community. "I enjoy practicing patient centered care. Allowing the patient to understand their treatment options and tailoring treatment based on each individual is vital when it comes to mental health treatment. Some individuals thrive with use of additional resources like individual and group therapy, in addition to medication management. I really enjoy educating the patients about their diagnosis and the symptoms and triggers that can affect them."
