Misty Hinkle, APRN, PMHNP-BC
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
Hello, my name is Misty Hinkle, APRN, PMHNP-BC and I am joining the Lowell, MA location as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, working through the telehealth platform. While working in the hospital, as a Registered Nurse and continuing my education, I began to look around and realized those with Mental Health Disorders and Substance Use Disorders were treated differently than those with Medical Disorders and I found that unacceptable and began to develop compassion, empathy, understanding, and a true passion for that population. When providing care for others, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, and finding mom and pop places to eat. I am excited to join the Eleanor team and promote their vision of holistic and compassionate care for those with Substance Use Disorders.

Paola Penn, LDAC I
Therapist, Worcester, MA
My name is Paola Penn and I am a Licensed Drug and Alcohol Counselor (LDAC I). I recently joined Eleanor Health as a therapist after practicing substance use and mental health treatment for over 8 years. During this time, I have specialized my training on treating anxiety and depression-related disorders, PTSD and other trauma-related disorders in combination with substance use disorders with great emphasis on cultural competency and responsiveness. Positive Psychology, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Therapy, and Harm Reduction are some of the approaches that influence my personality and my therapy work. Understanding and addressing our member’s needs is a priority of my role and it is fundamental in developing a meaningful therapeutic relationship with each member. I have a great sense of justice and an innate need to act on behalf of people that face injustice, which has a positive impact on my abilities to advocate for members as needed. Also, I am a firm believer that people are doing the best that they can and at times we all need guidance and support to live better lives. Another role I serve is as a mother of two children, I put effort into understanding their needs and keeping a good balance between my professional and personal life.
