Debra Zimmer

Overview

With over 20 years of experience as a Family Nurse Practitioner, I bring a wealth of knowledge from both office settings and the Emergency Department. Before this, I worked as an RN in hospice and home health, providing compassionate care to those in need.

I believe in a holistic approach to health, empowering my patients with the education they need to make informed choices about their treatment. My goal is to help you achieve your best health. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, as well as managing weight loss, diabetes, hypertension, and acute illnesses like sinus infections, migraines, and flu. Together, we can navigate your health journey towards wellness.

I have personally overcome a wide range of challenges, from growing up in a dysfunctional home and struggling with weight, stress, and depression to dropping out of high school, being a homeless teen mother, and losing a son to gun violence. I’ve navigated toxic friendships, abusive relationships, and survived a narcissistic marriage, all while raising a son in the LGBTQ community and often feeling like I didn’t belong or fit into the world around me.In addition to my extensive academic studies in nursing, psychiatry, metaphysical science, nutrition, and functional medicine, I am also a Certified Advanced Mastery Life Coach and Transformational Health Coach. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with thousands of individuals from all walks of life. Each has faced their own unique challenges, and through my coaching, I’ve helped them find balance in their mind, body, and spirit. Together, we’ve unlocked their potential to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives, build stronger relationships, and learn how to thrive—not just survive. Ms. Davis is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Insomnia. Her top areas of expertise are Major Depression, Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), and Bipolar Disorder (BPD).
