Bigy Thomas, MSN, PMHNP-BC

Compassionate, Evidence-Based Psychiatric Care Rooted in 25+ Years of Nursing Excellence.

"I believe that mental wellness is a journey that requires a partnership, not just a prescription. My approach is grounded in Relationship-Based Caring, where I prioritize 'being with' my clients to understand their unique life stories. I combine my deep clinical background with a warm, non-judgmental style to create a safe space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered.

Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, or life transitions, my goal is to provide holistic care that addresses both your mind and body. I am passionate about cultural sensitivity and enjoy working with individuals from all walks of life, ensuring that your care plan respects your personal values and heritage."

I bring over two decades of experience as a Registered Nurse across various healthcare specialties, which provides me with a comprehensive understanding of how physical health impacts mental well-being. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing (PMHNP) from Purdue University Global and hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Grand Canyon University.

Welcome—I'm glad you're here. Reaching out for support takes courage, and it’s an important first step toward feeling better. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps adults navigate life’s challenges with compassion, collaboration, and practical tools for lasting change. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship conflict, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore what’s holding you back and discover new ways forward.

My therapeutic style is warm, down-to-earth, and centered on your unique needs. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based, and person-centered approaches—blending evidence-based techniques with genuine human connection. Together, we’ll identify patterns that no longer serve you and build on your strengths to create a more balanced, fulfilling life.

I work with adults across all stages of life, including those navigating career changes, caregiving roles, or life transitions in later adulthood. I believe healing and growth are possible at any age.

If you’re ready to start your journey toward greater peace and self-understanding, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Let’s take that next step together.
