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.

Hi, I'm glad you're here!

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, carrying the weight of past experiences, navigating family conflict, grieving a loss, or adjusting to a major life change, you don't have to face it alone. Life can be incredibly challenging, and sometimes it's hard to know where to begin. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families, helping people find clarity, healing, and hope through life's most difficult seasons. My goal is to create a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported from the very first conversation.

My professional background includes clinical social work, pediatric healthcare, telehealth therapy, military-connected family support, domestic violence advocacy, and social work education. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in pediatric respiratory care with medically complex children and their families, an experience that continues to shape my understanding of caregiving, medical stress, grief, resilience, and the many ways families adapt during difficult times. I specialize in helping clients navigate trauma, anxiety, grief, family conflict, caregiver stress, medical and pediatric illness-related challenges, military family concerns, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.
