Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Indiana


Many people seek psychiatric care when anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, trauma, or persistent stress begin interfering with work, relationships, school, or daily life. Whether you're experiencing symptoms for the first time or have been struggling for years, my goal is to provide thoughtful, evidence-based care tailored to your individual needs.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, supportive psychotherapy, and pharmacogenomic testing when clinically appropriate. Pharmacogenomic testing can provide additional information about how your genetics may influence the way your body processes or responds to certain psychiatric medications. While it does not predict exactly which medication will work best, it can be a useful tool when selecting or adjusting treatment, particularly for individuals who have experienced medication side effects, limited benefit from previous treatments, or multiple medication trials.

I believe treatment works best when it is collaborative, personalized, and focused on your goals. Together, we’ll consider your symptoms, history, preferences, previous treatment experiences, and, when helpful, pharmacogenomic information to develop a treatment plan that feels both clinically sound and individualized to you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Wayne

Searching for therapists in Fort Wayne starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may fit your needs. People look for therapy in Fort Wayne for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Fort Wayne offers a mix of local therapy options across areas like Downtown, Northside, and South Side, with virtual sessions adding more choice when office location or scheduling matters. Some people prefer in-person therapy near home or work, while others choose virtual therapy for a schedule that fits their day. As you narrow your search, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that match your availability, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Fort Wayne can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book.
