Hi! I'm a dual-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner, with 6 years working as an APRN with adults and children. My focus is ADHD, burnout, stress, anxiety, and depression, you know, the stuff that shows up in daily life and makes everything feel harder than it should. I handle psychiatric evaluations and medication management, and I actually enjoy the process of figuring out what works for you, not just what works in general.
I’m a dual certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides thoughtful, individualized medication management for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when your mind isn’t working the way you want it to. I specialize in mood disorders, ADHD, addiction, anxiety and PTSD across the lifespan
This is a telehealth practice. As a personal choice, the use of narcotics or other controlled (DEA) meds are minimal, if any. I've been a psych nurse practitioner for at least 14yrs. I believe in managing conditions with psychiatric and non-psychiatric treatment modalities that are evidence based. The use of the least amount of meds, at lower doses that does the healing of symptoms, is an active process involving the client and based on the reported experiences. Safety is the core of my practice and my job is to help clients understand internal signals and how to prevent another crisis.
I believe the best mental health care begins with trust, compassion, and open communication. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences without fear of judgment.
I understand that reaching out for help isn't always easy, and I strive to meet each person where they are. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, mood changes, life transitions, trauma, ADHD, or simply feeling overwhelmed, we'll work together to develop a treatment plan that fits your goals, values, and lifestyle.
I take a collaborative approach to care, combining evidence-based medication management with supportive therapy, education, and practical coping strategies. I want my clients to understand not only what we're treating but why certain treatments may be beneficial, so they feel informed and involved in every decision.
With years of experience in psychiatric care across inpatient and outpatient settings, I've worked with individuals facing a wide range of mental health challenges. I believe healing isn't about being perfect—it's about making meaningful progress, building resilience, and finding balance in everyday life.
My hope is that every client leaves our appointments feeling heard, respected, and supported.
My practice is a good fit for clients who are looking for:
- Compassionate, nonjudgmental care
- Medication management with education and shared decision-making
- Practical tools to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning
- A provider who listens and works collaboratively
- Long-term support focused on sustainable mental wellness
I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward better mental health.
Welcome! I’m Cheryl D. Hoskins, PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner. I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, supported, and treated with compassion. Seeking help isn’t always easy, and I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where you can speak openly without fear of judgment. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, insomnia, mood disorders, and substance use disorders. Whether you’re facing a new challenge or have been struggling for years, my goal is to help you better understand your symptoms, develop effective coping strategies, and find a treatment plan that works for your unique needs and lifestyle. I view every client as a whole person—not just a diagnosis. Building a trusting relationship is the foundation of meaningful care, and I am committed to partnering with you every step of your journey toward improved mental health and overall well-being.
Hi, I’m Liz, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who believes mental health care should feel collaborative, personalized, and human. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, and neurodivergence and I strive to create a space where clients feel genuinely heard rather than judged or rushed.
My approach combines medication management with a holistic understanding of mental health, including nervous system regulation, lifestyle, relationships, physical health, and life experiences. Together, we focus on finding practical, sustainable strategies that help you feel more grounded, functional, and like yourself again.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right psychiatrist for you
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 Therapist in Clarksville
Finding the right psychiatrist in Clarksville starts with knowing what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of ongoing care. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners may also prescribe and manage medication. Therapists support mental health through talk therapy, and both can be valid starting points depending on your needs. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, background, and approach before booking.
In a mid-size city like Clarksville, your search may include local offices near Downtown, Riverside, Eastside, or nearby parts of Montgomery County, along with virtual appointments across Tennessee. Psychiatric care often has a different rhythm than therapy. Medication management appointments are usually 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 options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Provider bios can help you understand communication style, clinical focus, and what to expect in a first visit.
Psychiatric care in Clarksville 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 you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners who match your preferences, accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs upfront, browse profiles, 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.
