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.
Hello! I'm Amanda Long, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to serving families through compassionate, culturally sensitive mental health care. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University and have been practicing as a PMHNP since 2019, with over a decade of nursing experience beginning in 2011. My educational foundation also includes a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Illinois in Springfield, which broadened my understanding of human behavior and community dynamics. My journey in mental health has taken me through diverse settings that have shaped my comprehensive approach to care. I've worked in psychiatric emergency services at a major hospital, 23-hour crisis stabilization units, outpatient clinics, correctional facilities, and forensic mental health centers, including fitness-to-stand-trial evaluations. This varied experience has equipped me to understand mental health from multiple perspectives and meet people wherever they are in their journey, whether they're facing an acute crisis or seeking ongoing support. I specialize in medication management for individuals across the lifespan—from children and adolescents to adults and older adults. My treatment areas include depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma-related conditions, psychotic disorders, and other mental health concerns. I'm experienced in both telehealth and in-person care, making quality psychiatric services accessible and convenient for your lifestyle. What drives me is the belief that everyone deserves competent, caring mental health support that honors their unique background and circumstances. I'm committed to improving the communities I serve, one individual and family at a time, through evidence-based practice combined with genuine human connection. My approach centers on partnership and creating a safe environment for healing. I look forward to supporting you and your family's wellness journey.
I have found my own personal healing to be intimately connected to nature, and it is here that I believe that we can all begin to rediscover our intrinsic humanity and let go of those things that distract us from our higher selves. In my spare time, I work as an outdoor educator and manage my own private practice and guide Outdoor Retreats
I believe it is helpful and important to translate what is discussed in session and in telehealth meetings into lived experience and real change.
Welcome! I am an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 20 years of experience in mental health and behavioral health settings. My professional background includes working with individual and families, as well as experience in corrections and community-based mental health services. I earned a graduate degree in counseling from Northern Arizona University in 2012 and have been practicing as a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2017. I support adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief and loss, stress, and life transitions. I provide therapy in both English and Spanish and strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel hears, understood, and comfortable being themselves.
I’m Christina, a warm, down-to-earth therapist who genuinely enjoys getting to know people and understanding what makes them who they are.
I’ve spent more than 15 years working with people in schools, hospitals, community mental health, crisis intervention, and trauma-focused settings. Along the way, I’ve supported veterans, first responders, trauma and abuse survivors, parents, professionals, adolescents, and neurodivergent individuals.
My path into therapy has given me the opportunity to sit with people during some incredibly difficult moments. It has taught me that there is almost always more to someone than what we see on the surface - and that life rarely fits neatly into categories.
I’m interested in the whole picture: your experiences, relationships, strengths, struggles, sense of humor, values, and the things you may not always understand about yourself.
I also believe therapy can be both meaningful and human. There will be serious conversations, but there can also be laughter, honesty, and those moments when something finally clicks.
You don’t have to have an impressive story or a perfect explanation for why you’re here. We can start with wherever life has you right now.
Hi, I’m Dr. Linda Wickens, a doctoral-level therapist and coach who works with individuals navigating stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and patterns that keep them feeling stuck while preventing forward movement and growth. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or frustrated that change feels harder than it should.
Therapy and coaching with me are never one-size-fits-all. We work collaboratively to create a plan that is specific to you, your goals, and your capacity, adjusting pace and structure as your needs evolve. I focus on helping clients understand their patterns, build emotional awareness, and develop practical skills they can actually use in daily life.
I hold a Doctorate in Social Work and am a fully licensed clinical social worker, with over nine years of experience in the mental health field. My work integrates evidence-based therapy with a coaching-informed lens when appropriate, allowing sessions to be both supportive and goal-oriented while still making space to explore the past and its impact on the present.
Clients often describe my style as warm, direct, and collaborative. As part of my concierge model, clients work directly with me rather than an assistant, and I remain accessible to my clients outside of sessions through secure communication when needed. I believe growth happens through understanding, compassion, and honest conversation, and that progress is most sustainable when care feels personal, intentional, and consistent.
Please Note: I do not provide couples or marriage counseling. I do not treat adolescents under the age of 21. Additionally, I am not able to treat clients who are experiencing active suicidal ideation or self-harm behaviors. If these services are needed, I encourage seeking a provider who specializes in these areas or contacting appropriate crisis resources if immediate support is required.
A provider you can reach directly, by text. Personal responses to all messages within 24 - 48 hours, always. Evening and weekend hours available.
Thanks for reading this. I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who works with clients ages 6 to 86 struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, borderline personality disorder, substance abuse and other issues. I help clients to find stability and reduce suffering.
Depression and anxiety can be logical responses to difficult life events. Many adults who experienced losses and traumas in childhood have never processed these events and continue to suffer their impacts.
(Please note that I am no longer taking on new therapy clients, I am only accepting new clients for medication management at this time.)
I have a Master's degree in Social Work and have worked for many years in Florida and Arizona helping adults with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, healing from PTSD trauma and addictions.
There's a point where pushing through on your own stops being resilience and starts just being exhausting. I'm Mike, a Licensed Professional Counselor working with adults and seniors navigating anxiety, trauma, panic, depression, and the kind of mood and identity questions that are hard to untangle alone. I'm LGBTQIA+ affirming and actively work with men who are ready to take their mental health seriously. I believe you already have strengths you may not be giving yourself credit for. Clients often describe me as direct, clear, and collaborative.
