Hello! I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. My approach is rooted in the belief that mental wellness is a collaborative journey, and I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard.

Areas of Specialization While I work with a wide range of mental health concerns, I have particular expertise in:

• Anxiety & Mood Disorders: Helping clients manage depression, panic, and generalized anxiety.
• ADHD Management: Providing comprehensive evaluations and personalized strategies for focus and productivity.
• Trauma-Informed Care: Supporting individuals navigating the long-term effects of difficult life experiences.
• Medication Management: Using a "less is more" philosophy to find the most effective pharmacological support when needed, always paired with supportive therapy.

You've probably been holding it together for so long that you've forgotten what it feels like not to. I work with adults and teenagers who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and the complicated terrain of relationships and identity. A lot of my clients are women working through life transitions, maternal mental health challenges, and the weight of managing everything at once. Whether you're a teenager still figuring out who you are or an adult who feels like you've been running on empty, this kind of exhaustion is something we can actually work through together.

Dustin R. Kebre; M.A; LMFT; MT3057 My current focus lies in the private practice setting, where I take a special interest in treating trauma, anxiety & depressive disorders in adults. I take a Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) approach, which allows for long-term benefits in fewer sessions than other counseling models. I was intensively trained in EMDR and believe the focus of counseling is to not only work on managing your current struggles, but to develop the tools needed to independently manage future obstacles as well. I use a combination of reflective listening, as well as an instructional approach, to help guide you towards becoming the best version of you!

I have a Master's in Clinical Psychology and a License in Marital and Family Therapy. I treat individuals, couples and families. I specialize in healing people from pain and suffering. I believe the connection you can develop during therapy provides an environment where you can feel safe and nurtured. We all need this kind of support in a world that seems to care less and less about your needs as a human being. The first step is the most difficult; however, often the most life changing. I look forward in helping you transform your life and be the person you were meant to be.
