Andrew Dudley, APRN
I began working in the fitness/nutrition field in 2014 while doing part-time work in residential and IOP treatment centers as a support staff. I have an undergraduate degree in psychology and went on to complete a master's in science/nursing in 2020, trained in psychiatry. I began my work in advanced practice nursing at Vanderbilt within the division of addiction psychiatry and in 2022 completed advanced practice nursing board certification for the treatment of addictions.
​
I treat with what I think is best described as an integrative approach, combining evidence-based conventional and integrative medicine (often called complementary and alternative medicine) approaches to health and wellness. I believe in collaborative partnerships. working in collaboration with the care team as well as the individual seeking support for their health. Care plans are built to instigate recovery; restore wellness and preserve wellness through education and ongoing self-care skill utilization. I believe in empowering individuals to access their own strength in resources to navigate the inevitable challenges life brings and in turn create endless attainment of higher points of freedom.

I work with members of the community to provide necessary linkage to care where I may not be best equipped to provide service at the time of need.
