Trauma-Informed Care Built on Real-World Experience
Samantha Hurlbut is a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who brings a depth of clinical experience to every patient interaction. Before joining CARMAhealth, she spent five years providing case management services to individuals with persistent mental illness and survivors of family violence and sexual assault.
