Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Dallas, TX


Finding the right mental health provider can feel overwhelming, especially if you've tried therapy or medications in the past without getting the relief you were hoping for. My goal is to help you move beyond simply managing symptoms and toward feeling like yourself again.

I am a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) with over 16 years of healthcare experience. I specialize in treating adults with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, insomnia, OCD, and treatment-resistant mood disorders. My advanced psychiatric training was completed through Monmouth University and Wilkes University, where I focused on Evidence-based psychiatric care.

I believe that effective treatment starts with understanding the whole person not just the diagnosis. Together, we'll explore the biological, psychological, and lifestyle factors contributing to your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan that fits your goals. My approach combines thoughtful medication management with practical therapeutic strategies that you can apply in everyday life.

For individuals whose depression has not improved after trying multiple antidepressants, I also evaluate and provide treatment options such as Spravato (esketamine) when clinically appropriate. My focus is always on finding the safest, most effective treatment based on your unique needs.

Patients often describe me as warm, approachable, honest, and solution focused. I strive to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your treatment decisions. Whether you're seeking help for the first time or looking for a new approach after previous treatments haven't worked, I'm committed to helping you build lasting emotional wellness and improve your quality of life.

Amy Burley

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Plano, TX


Do you find yourself comparing your life to others and wondering why things don’t seem to fall into place for you? Do you struggle with anxiety, or feeling like you’re not good enough, important enough, or that you exist mainly to take care of everyone else?

If you’ve spent years feeling overlooked, misunderstood, excluded, or expected to simply “pull yourself up by your bootstraps,” therapy can offer a safe space to slow down and explore what you’ve been carrying.

Perhaps you were overlooked or hurt in childhood, bullied or excluded as a teenager, or felt like you never quite fit in. Over time, you may have learned to wear a mask so well that, as an adult, it can be difficult to even identify what feels wrong inside.

I can help you acknowledge that pain, find your voice, and develop greater self-compassion. Together, we can explore the experiences that shaped you, recognize your strengths, and build resilience as you move toward a more empowered way of being.

I work with adolescents, young adults, parents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, self-doubt, life transitions, and the lasting impact of difficult experiences.

I have specialized training in experiential therapies, including expressive arts and Sandtray, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and insight-oriented talk therapy. I create individualized treatment plans based on your needs, goals, and concerns.

You don’t have to keep wearing the mask or carry everything alone. Therapy can be a place to feel seen, understood, and supported as you reconnect with yourself and move forward.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Waxahachie, TX


I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with

over 10 years of experience helping

people work through life challenges and

the negative thought processes that keep

them stuck. A lot of my work is about

helping clients become emotionally

resilient, using mindfulness and other

practical tools from the theories that fit

each person best. If you're carrying

anxiety, unresolved trauma,

or strain in your closest relationships, you

don't have to sort it out on your own. I

work with teenagers, adults and seniors, including a

lot of men who didn't expect therapy to

be for them.

Tyra Fort

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Rockwall, TX


As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe meaningful change begins with transforming the way we think and behave. When we shift our internal patterns, we create space for healthier, more adaptive responses to life’s challenges. While we cannot change the past, we can work together to build new skills that help you navigate the present with clarity and approach the future with confidence.

I specialize in individual counseling for adults and adolescents, offering support for depression, anxiety, anger management, grief, emotional trauma, and adolescent development.

My goal is to help you build resilience, strengthen self‐awareness, and develop practical tools that support lasting, meaningful change.
