Bryanna Baptiste

Bryanna Baptiste

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Massachusetts


Hi! I'm Bryanna, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner.

I help people who are good at holding it together and tired of doing it. I treat the worry that won't shut off, the flatness that makes everything feel like effort, the nights you can't sleep, and the chronic stress hiding underneath it all, in teens, young adults, and professionals. We talk about your sleep, your stress, and what's actually been going on, and build a plan together. Medication is one tool when it helps, not the whole plan. You don't need the right words to reach out. Just tell me what's been going on.

Outside of work, I'm a devoted dog mom and a professional starter of new hobbies. Currently, arts and crafts and chess.

Wellness isn't the absence of a diagnosis. You don't need the right words to reach out. Just tell me what's been going on.
