Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Kerrville, TX

You have probably been carrying more than you let on, and somewhere along the way, just getting through the day became the goal. I work with children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, family stress, and life transitions that feel bigger than expected. I also support parents who are looking for help for a child or teenager who is struggling to find their footing. Whatever brings you here, my goal is to make sure you feel genuinely heard from the very first conversation.

I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care. As a Doctor of Nursing Practice and Board-Certified Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I approach every patient with respect, empathy, and a focus on safety. My clinical decisions are grounded in current research, best practices, and your individual needs.

I believe in a collaborative and transparent treatment process. I value open communication. I want you to feel comfortable discussing your symptoms, concerns, and goals so we can work together to create a plan that truly supports your mental health.

Hi there. I am Dr. Dinkins. I have been a Licensed Psychologist for many years. I love people and hearing every person's life story.

Are you in the blame game? Do you blame yourself for events and circumstances beyond your circle of control and influence? You’re one of the millions of people so trapped!

Counseling help is available for you- as a parent, a teenager, young adult, couple, or whatever category that defines your person. As your counselor, your mental health journey is mine. You have POWER within YOU. Utilizing your past experience as a steppingstone to overcome all obstacles.

BELIEVE!!!

Let the journey begin.

• Enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, family and marriage populations.
• For past several years I have worked in both private and public school settings.
• Hold a certification in both Trauma and Christian Counseling.

My clinical style is warm, structured, and collaborative. I emphasize clear communication and shared decision-making with my patients. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where people feel heard and respected.

I have an AGACNP background, which supports my ability to assess medical comorbidity and understand complex medical/psychiatric overlap. I am also DOT-certified, which reflects my knowledge of safety-sensitive considerations and careful medication risk assessment.

I’m passionate about helping people who often feel misunderstood or overlooked — especially those navigating substance use and mental health challenges. Over the years, I’ve seen how stigma can prevent people from seeking help, and I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where clients can feel comfortable being themselves.
