Linda West, PMHNP-BC

Linda West, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner at Alleviant’s Bentonville location, treats children, adolescents, and adults. She holds an MSN from the University of Central Arkansas and a post-master’s certificate in psychiatric mental health nursing from Rocky Mountain University.

Previously, she worked in urgent care and oncology, but personal experiences with depression, pregnancy loss, and substance abuse in her family inspired her to pursue mental health. “There is no greater reward than helping others heal and grow,” Linda said. “I feel blessed to use my gifts to support people on their journey to wholeness.”

She values Alleviant’s broad range of treatments and patient-centered care. “People don’t need to feel out of options—there is always hope.”

Originally from Pine Bluff, Arkansas, Linda has traveled extensively to Mexico, Brazil, Malawi, South Africa, and China.

Outside work, she enjoys time with her husband, five children, and eight grandchildren, along with her pets—Lilly, a miniature Australian shepherd, and two cats, Daisy and Radar. She also loves reading, crossword puzzles, traveling, Razorback football, and all things fall.
