Dana's Story
Growing into psychiatric care with purpose
Dana Watkins, PA-C, brings a background in cardiology and critical care to her work in psychiatry, along with a deep belief that whole-body wellness and mental health are inseparable. That perspective, treating the whole person, not just a diagnosis, shapes everything about how she practices.
Dana is currently training alongside Katie Macaluso, who brings more than a decade of psychiatry experience across crisis, inpatient, and outpatient settings. Rather than being left to navigate complex cases alone, Dana works side by side with Katie on every visit as she builds her own path in the field, a true team approach to patient care.
Dana also conducts Spravato treatment visits, where her cardiology and critical care background is a particular asset, giving her a strong foundation for monitoring patients closely and safely throughout treatment.
How Dana Works
A focus on connection and whole-person care
Dana strives to build genuine human connection with every patient she sees. Her clinical background across cardiology and critical care taught her to look at the full picture of a person's health, and she brings that same lens to psychiatric care, understanding that mental and physical wellness are deeply connected.
Patients working with Dana benefit from the depth of a collaborative team. While she sees patients independently, every visit is discussed with Katie, meaning patients get the benefit of two providers' perspectives without ever feeling like they've been handed off to someone still figuring it out.
