I’m Amanda James, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with experience providing psychiatric care across inpatient, emergency, and outpatient settings, including child and adolescent psychiatry. My background has given me experience working with individuals with a wide range of mental health needs and levels of complexity.
I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management for conditions including ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, PMDD, trauma and PTSD, and psychotic disorders. I take an evidence-based, individualized approach to treatment and believe that good psychiatric care starts with understanding the whole person—not simply treating a list of symptoms.
I value collaboration and transparency in treatment. I want my patients to understand their diagnosis, treatment options, and the reasoning behind my recommendations so they can feel informed and actively involved in their care.
Your first appointment is an opportunity for me to understand you beyond your symptoms. We’ll review your current concerns, psychiatric and medical history, medications, lifestyle, and treatment goals. I strive to create a comfortable, judgment-free environment where you feel heard and can speak openly. We’ll then discuss my clinical impressions and work together to develop an individualized treatment plan, including medication options when appropriate.
