Carli VanDenHouten

Carli VanDenHouten

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Washington


Hi! I'm Carli, and I'm a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in the Pacific Northwest. I work with teens and adults navigating everything from anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma to burnout, life transitions, and the stress of living in an increasingly complex world.

I believe mental health care should be compassionate, collaborative and tailored to you as a whole person—not just your symptoms. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported from the very beginning.

Care with me is flexible and designed to meet you where you are. Together, we'll find the pace, treatment approach, and level of support that fits your needs—and adapt as those needs evolve.

My educational background includes undergraduate degrees in Psychology and Nursing, followed by a master's degree in nursing specializing in psychiatric mental health. Throughout my career I've cared for patients across outpatient clinics, psychiatric and medical inpatient units, intensive outpatient programs, and community mental health settings.

My approach is rooted in whole-person care, recognizing that mental health is influenced by far more than medication alone. When appropriate, treatment may include medication, supportive psychotherapy, lifestyle strategies, and integrative approaches tailored to your individual needs and goals.

Today, I provide telehealth psychiatric care for adolescents and adults across Oregon and Washington. I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and am committed to providing affirming, individualized care for neurodivergent individuals, people with developmental disabilities, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. I commonly treat anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, OCD, mood disorders, stress, life transitions, and other mental health concerns. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered.

Kelly Holmes

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


I believe in our capacity to adapt, grow, love, grieve, overcome & thrive. Stressful events, trauma, loss, illness & change can overwhelm our ability to cope. We become stuck. We protect ourselves to avoid ever feeling that pain again. Solutions that once worked become part of the problem. When the wound is triggered, we experience pain & distorted ways of thinking. In therapy, we journey together to uncover & remove blocks to healing, transforming pain & loss into meaning, awareness & choice.
