Hi! I’m Christina Doss, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) offering flexible daytime, evening, and late-night appointments to make mental health care easier to fit into your life.
I provide medication management + psychotherapy for adults, young adults, adolescents ( 12 + ) throughout Ohio. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, ADHD/ADD, depression, depression, mood changes, emotional well-being OCD, C-PTSD, college/academic stress, workplace stress/burnout and concerns related to hormonal changes, including PMDD, perimenopause, menopause, and postpartum depression (PPD). I also support individuals working through family, marriage, and relationship concerns.
Many people come to treatment during periods of change or uncertainty—college and academic challenges, career transitions, relationship or marriage difficulties, divorce, parenting stress, grief, health concerns, or simply adjusting to a new stage of life.
If you’re feeling mentally exhausted or overwhelmed, or struggling with focus, attention, staying on task, organization, motivation, or getting things done, you don’t have to figure everything out on your own. We can work together to identify what’s getting in the way and develop practical tools and treatment strategies personalized to your needs.
As an independent provider, I believe meaningful mental health care starts with feeling heard, seen, and supported. I want you to have a space where you can be yourself, talk openly about what’s happening, and feel actively involved in your treatment.
You are worth it. Schedule an appointment, and together we’ll work toward helping you feel more confident, supported, and equipped to live your life to its fullest potential. You don’t have to do it alone.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Canton, OH
Finding the right psychiatrist in Canton starts with knowing which type of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of ongoing care. Therapists provide talk therapy and can also be a helpful starting point, depending on what you want support with. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and background to see whether their training matches your needs.
In a smaller city like Canton, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger Ohio markets, so virtual appointments can expand your choices beyond nearby offices in Canton, North Canton, and surrounding areas. Psychiatry visits for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, while some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare psychiatrists in Canton, look at appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and what their profile says about their care style before booking.
Psychiatric care in Canton can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps make that step clearer by showing estimated costs before you book. Headway also verifies that listed psychiatrists are accepting new patients with your plan when you search. You can browse providers, review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
