Great to meet you!

Amara is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who works with children, teens, and adults. She provides care for concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, insomnia, and other mental health needs. She has a background in psychiatric nursing and believes good mental health care starts with feeling heard, understood, and comfortable with your provider.

My approach to therapy

Amara believes mental health care should feel like a conversation, not a judgment. She takes time to listen and understand what is going on in each client’s life before deciding on a treatment plan. She provides medication management along with supportive psychotherapy when appropriate, using approaches like CBT and solution-focused techniques. Her goal is to help clients feel better, function better, and have a treatment plan that works for them.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a chance to talk openly about what you have been experiencing and what you would like help with. Amara will ask about your symptoms, history, daily life, and goals so she can better understand what you need. Together, you will discuss treatment options and create a plan that feels realistic and right for you.
