Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • New Hampshire


Hi, I’m Hayley Johnson, MSN, PMHNP-BC. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 16 years of experience in nursing, including medical, rehabilitation, home health, and behavioral health settings.

I work with adolescents and adults (ages 12+) experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and stress-related conditions. Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who feel overwhelmed internally, struggle with focus or emotional regulation, or feel stuck despite trying to manage things on their own.

My background in both medical and psychiatric care allows me to take a comprehensive approach. I consider the full picture, including medical history, lifestyle factors, and when appropriate, possible contributors such as thyroid imbalance, vitamin deficiencies, or hormonal changes.

I am committed to providing thoughtful, structured, and evidence-based psychiatric medication management in a way that feels collaborative and respectful.

Hello! I am a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who works with children, families and adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, trauma and identity exploration. My focus on sessions is practical, real and tailored to each person. Sessions often involve exploring patterns, trying out strategies that actually fit your life and reflecting on what's working and what is not. With children, adults and families, I focus on building connection, understanding experiences and creating small changes that feel meaningful day-to-day. My goal is to make therapy feel like a partnership, not a checklist.
