Tierra Hatcher

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Cockeysville, MD


I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with specialized training and expertise in caring for adolescents, adults, and older adults across a wide range of mental health concerns — including anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and attention or concentration challenges. I combine medication management with supportive, collaborative therapy, meaning I bring both clinical precision and genuine human connection to every appointment. I offer flexible scheduling and convenient telehealth options, so accessing quality care fits into your life rather than disrupting it. Most importantly, I am committed to creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel truly heard and supported — because I believe that is the foundation of meaningful healing.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Great to meet you! My name is Stella, and I provide both medication management and individual therapy using CBT to support people navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, OCD, PTSD, anger, and stress. I work with individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life, and my goal is to help you feel more balanced, in control, and supported.

I’ve spent the last 16 years working in an inpatient psychiatric setting, which has given me a deep understanding of how mental health challenges can impact daily life. I’ve worked with people at all stages of their journey, and I bring that experience into a space that feels warm, open-minded, and solution-oriented.

I know reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to meet you where you are and support you every step of the way.
