My name is Maria Brickner, I am a certified nurse practitioner specializing in psychiatric care. The practice is named Mindful Care, as we feel that flexibility of approach and compassionate, client-centered care are the keystones of our patient's success. We are dedicated to serving southeast Iowa. 

Not only am I a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, but I am also a proud Veteran who served on both active duty in the Army and in the Navy Reserves. 

From your first interaction with us, you'll feel the difference. Our center is designed to feel like a safe haven - free from stigma, judgement, or pressure. We've created a warm, inviting space where you can feel comfortable opening up, and where healing feels possible.

We have a selfless, genuine concern for our patients and a willingness to act on that feeling to bring about positive changes through quality mental health care.

Every healing path is unique, and we honor your individuality, choice, and pace.
