Hello and welcome! Whether you found yourself on this page at the recommendation of a friend, family member, outside provider or stumbled upon it while looking for resources, I am so happy you are here! My name is Christie Sigmon, I am a practicing physician assistant in Psychiatry who has a passion for meeting clients where they are at, identifying goals and developing a treatment plan to meet those goals. I attended undergrad at the University of South Carolina, spent 10 months in Ecuador after graduation then was accepted into Teach For America. I spent 3 amazing years teaching Physics at what is now known as Riverside High School here in Jacksonville, FL. I attended grad school at Nova Southeastern University, where I was first exposed to a PA's role in mental health care. Following graduation, I accepted my first job as a PA at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, treating all ages on the inpatient psychiatric units. A desire to be closer to family (and the beach) brought my husband and I back to Jacksonville, where I spent 4.5 years in outpatient psychiatry at UF Health. I have since joined Desai Health where I continue to treat all ages with a variety of diagnoses in the outpatient setting.
