My name is Spencer Allan, MSN, APRN, PMHNP, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience working in mental health care. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals facing a wide range of mental health concerns across various levels of care, giving me a strong foundation in understanding the complexities of psychiatric illness and recovery.
I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing challenges such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, psychotic disorders, and other mental health concerns. I also have a strong interest in functional health and the relationship between mental health, sleep, hormones, physical health, nutrition, and overall wellness.
I believe mental health treatment should focus on the whole person, not just a diagnosis. My goal is to help clients better understand what is contributing to their symptoms while developing a treatment plan that supports both symptom improvement and long-term well-being.
I am a down-to-earth, supportive, nonjudgmental, and open-minded Board Certified Psychiatric NP. I began my work in psychiatric care as a registered nurse treating patients in various hospital settings who were experiencing a mental health crisis. For a more rewarding 1-on-1 approach, I returned to grad school and earned a Masters, and chose to become certified as a Psychiatric NP. I am honored and fortunate to have the opportunity to manage medications for kids and adults with ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar, Panic, Sleep problems, and other ailments from a place of encouragement and respect and based on an ever growing library of peer reviewed scientific literature and medical treatment guidelines.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) providing compassionate, evidence-based care to adolescents and adults. My approach blends clinical expertise with a collaborative, patient-centered philosophy, I believe treatment works best when you feel heard, understood, and actively involved in your care.
I earned my graduate degree in psychiatric-mental health nursing from Northern Kentucky University and have experience treating a wide range of conditions, including anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, trauma-related conditions, mood disorders, and medication management for complex psychiatric presentations. My background includes working with individuals navigating life transitions, high-achieving professionals experiencing burnout, and patients seeking thoughtful, personalized medication management.
I specialize in comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management, with a focus on clarity, safety, and long-term stability. I aim to avoid overmedication while ensuring symptoms are effectively treated. When appropriate, I integrate supportive therapy techniques into sessions to help patients build insight, resilience, and practical coping strategies.
My practice is fully telehealth-based, allowing for convenient, private access to care. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable discussing what’s really going on — without judgment — and to work together toward meaningful, sustainable improvement in your mental health.
Healing only happens when you are truly seen
I help women and men experiencing midlife chaos achieve clear, focused control over their lives. We investigate the intersection of your hormones and your neurobiology. We move from being dismissed to being deeply seen and validated. I also specialize in PMDD and perinatal mental health.
Hi, I'm Brittney, and I'm excited to support you on your journey to better mental health! I'm board certified as a psychiatric nurse practitioner. I primarily focus on OCD, anxiety, and depression. I am no longer accepting new ADHD clients. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where we can work together to help you thrive. I look forward to meeting you!
Are you tired of treating symptoms without understanding what's actually causing your anxiety, depression, trauma, or emotional struggles? Lasting healing begins by addressing the root causes of mental health challenges—not simply masking them. I'm Michelle Rawls, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner offering personalized, root-cause-focused care.

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 Salt Lake City
Finding the right psychiatrist in Salt Lake City starts with understanding what type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Medication management can support care for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Some people start with a psychiatrist, some start with a therapist, and some work with both. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, training, and care style match what you want support with.
Salt Lake City has psychiatrists across neighborhoods such as Downtown, Sugar House, and Holladay, along with virtual options that can expand your search beyond the nearest office. In-person visits may fit well if location, commute, or a physical office setting matters to you. Virtual appointments may work better if your schedule calls for more flexibility. Psychiatric medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Before booking, read each profile for appointment availability, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and how the psychiatrist describes their approach.
Psychiatric care in Salt Lake City 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, enter your insurance details, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can compare profiles, review availability, 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.
