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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Dayton, OH
Finding the right psychiatrist in Dayton starts with understanding the type of care you want to access. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. Therapists provide talk therapy and support, and some people choose to work with both a therapist and a prescriber. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach before booking.
Dayton is a smaller mental health care market, so nearby in-person psychiatry appointments may be more limited than in larger cities. Virtual appointments can expand your options across Ohio while still letting you search for psychiatrists who match your schedule, preferences, and insurance. Psychiatric care also works differently than therapy for many people: medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Reading psychiatrist bios can help you compare appointment format, availability, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Dayton can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients with your plan, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose between virtual and in-person options when available. You can browse psychiatrists in Dayton, review bios, and book directly when you are 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.
