Colleen Tetzlaff, DNP, FNP
Colleen has been in private practice since 2010. Her business, Integrative Therapies, is currently based in Yarmouth, ME and serves all ages seeking integrative medicine care for primary care and chronic disease management.
Since the 1990s, starting with Women to Women in Yarmouth ME, Colleen has been bringing together the art and science of integrative medicine approaches in healthcare.
Her passion for holistic, healing health care began early in her career and grew out of the recognition that patients are best cared for when the practitioner recognizes the multiple influences on disease and wellness, including the physical, spiritual, and psychological influences. Her comprehensive individualized treatment plans are safe and effective, bringing together the best ideas and strategies which draw upon conventional and integrative science and wisdom.
She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Maine in 1990, and her Master of Science in Nursing in 1997 and Doctor of Nursing Practice in 2012, both from Simmons College in Boston, MA. She has trained with Donald Yance, CN, RH (AHG), SFO in Ashland Oregon, one of the brightest minds in the field of integrative oncology and chronic disease management and founder of the Mederi Foundation. She is certified by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners and maintains membership with the Maine Nurse Practitioner Association.
From 1997- 2005, she worked in Vermont as a primary care provider, thus obtaining a firm grasp of wellness oriented care, as well as chronic disease management. Moving back to her native state in 2005, she worked for Maine Medical Center in the division of Gynecologic Oncology from 2006 to 2011. For many years now Colleen has cared for those dealing with a cancer diagnosis or a history of cancer with an integrative oncology approach.
Recently she had added metabolic and weight management services as well as IV therapies to her menu of services, working closely with her long term colleague Mary Moskowitz, emphasizing lifestyle changes and education with or without the appropriate use of medication to assist in improving health parameters by addressing metabolism and body composition.
