Hello. My name is Lasharyl Barton-Collum, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University in 2020 and have been licensed to practice as an NP in Texas since 2020. In 2025, I obtained my Oregon license and am now accepting clients via TeleHealth across the state.

My clinical focus is on psychiatric medication management for individuals experiencing Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar I & II Disorders, and Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders. My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that empowers each client to improve their mental health, build resilience, and enhance overall quality of life.

I grew up in rural PA working on my grandfather's potato farm, learning equine therapy benefits starting at age eight. I joined the food industry as a waitress and worked throughout my RN undergrad.

I began my nursing career after earning my BSN from IUP in 2015, stepping directly into the fast‐paced world of behavioral health care within emergency room settings. Those early years shaped my clinical foundation and deepened my commitment to supporting individuals who have experienced trauma. I continued to grow, learning medicine, therapeutic communications skills, de-escalation techniques while working inpatient contracts at various facilities across PA, including child and adolescent units, adult and geriatric units, and correctional facility contracts.

Driven to expand efficient care through impact, I completed my MSN as a Psychiatric‐Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in November 2024. I initially provided inpatient hospital care, gaining valuable experiences in a new psychiatric treatment facility. As my career and family needs evolved, I discovered that remote psychiatric care offered the balance and flexibility that best supported both my professional goals and home life balance. My passion for farms, animals, and my large blended and busy family will help my clients see why I enjoy offering them a decade of behavioral health experience. With my advanced PMHNP training, I will deliver compassionate, accessible mental health support in a comfortable virtual setting.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I believe every person deserves to be heard, understood, and treated as more than a diagnosis. I take the time to understand the whole person, considering the biological, psychological, social, and lifestyle factors that influence mental health. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, creating personalized treatment plans that support lasting wellness. My goal is to help you feel supported, empowered, and confident throughout your mental health journey.

I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Clarity Psychiatry. I work with adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, stress, and burnout. My goal is to create a welcoming space where you feel comfortable being yourself. I believe feeling heard and understood is the foundation of good care :)
