Great to meet you!

Hello, my name is Amanda Johnson, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with several years of nursing experience across medical-surgical, chemical dependency, and psychiatric care settings. My treatment philosophy is rooted in a comprehensive, holistic approach that integrates psychotherapy, medication management, and non-pharmacological interventions tailored to individual patient needs.

My approach to therapy

I provide compassionate, evidence-based care to children, adolescents, and adults who are experiencing emotional, physical, or social difficulties related to mental health challenges. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, postpartum mental health concerns, insomnia, and ADHD.

Many people hesitate to seek mental health support due to mistrust or past experiences. My goal is to change that by offering compassionate, individualized care that honors your privacy, values your unique story, and focuses on what matters most to you. Each treatment plan is tailored to your needs and may include medication management, lifestyle modifications, and a holistic approach to overall well-being.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and discuss what brought you to seek support. I’ll ask about your current concerns, personal history, and goals for treatment. The pace is always guided by your comfort level. This session is also an opportunity for you to ask questions, share expectations, and get a sense of my approach to care.

My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and supported from the very beginning. Together, we’ll begin developing a plan that fits your unique needs—whether that includes therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, or a combination of approaches.
