Dr. Shawn Faust DNP, PMHNP-BC is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. He earned his Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from the University of Arizona in 2018. During his training, he worked in various mental health clinics across Tucson treating patients across the lifespan; pediatric, adult, and geriatric. Dr. Faust offers medication management for the full range of psychiatric ailments, such as Depression, Anxiety, and Bipolar.

In psychiatry, there is often more than one evidence-based treatment option available. Dr. Faust's philosophy is to teach the client about the pros and cons of each option and make a treatment plan that is based on client’s personal preferences and values.

You should feel that your appointment was a collaborative experience where you learned about the medications, what they will help, and why one medication was chosen over other alternatives.
