Bonnie Lenyard

Hi, I’m Bonnie. With over 30 years in healthcare and more than a decade as a Nurse Practitioner, I bring both experience and a deeply personal approach to mental health care. I’m dual board-certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), and my background includes seven years in neurology. That experience gives me a unique perspective on the connection between the brain, body, and mental health.

I work with teens 14+ and adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and life transitions. ADHD is a special focus of my practice, particularly helping capable, driven people who know they have more potential but feel overwhelmed, scattered, or stuck.

Patients can expect a provider who listens, explains, and takes the time to understand the whole picture. I combine thoughtful medication management with supportive therapy and practical strategies you can use in everyday life. I want you to understand what we’re treating, why I’m recommending a particular approach, and what your options are.

My style is warm, straightforward, and collaborative. You won’t find rushed, one-size-fits-all care here. My goal is for you to feel genuinely heard and to leave our visits with greater clarity, a realistic plan, and hope about what comes next.

If you’re ready for mental health care that feels personal, thoughtful, and truly collaborative, I’d be honored to work with you.

My approach to care is personal, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel like yourself again. I believe effective mental health care begins with being heard and understood. You deserve more than a diagnosis or prescription—you deserve to understand what may be contributing to how you feel and to have a voice in your treatment.

With more than 30 years in healthcare and over a decade as a Nurse Practitioner, I bring a strong medical background and practical approach to mental health care. I look beyond symptoms to consider your health, sleep, stress, relationships, lifestyle, and experiences that may be affecting how you feel and function.

I combine thoughtful medication management with supportive therapy during our appointments. When medication is appropriate, I’ll explain why I recommend it, what we hope it will accomplish, and what alternatives may be available.

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. Your care is individualized, evidence-based, and developed with you, not just for you.

My style is warm, straightforward, and compassionate. My goal is not simply to reduce symptoms, but to help you better understand yourself, regain a sense of control, and feel more confident moving forward.

Your first session is a conversation, not an interrogation. You don’t need to know exactly what to say or have everything figured out. Just come as you are—we’ll start there.

We’ll talk about what brought you in, the symptoms or challenges you’re experiencing, what you’ve already tried, and what has or hasn’t helped. I’ll also ask about your medical history, medications, sleep, stress, relationships, and other circumstances that may be affecting how you feel.

My goal is to understand you as a whole person—not just a list of symptoms or a diagnosis. I may ask deeper questions to better understand patterns or experiences that could be influencing your mental health.

If medication may be helpful, we’ll discuss your options, including benefits, risks, side effects, and alternatives. Treatment decisions are made with you, not for you. I want you to understand your options and feel comfortable asking questions.

By the end of your visit, you’ll have a clear plan for moving forward. This may include medication, therapy recommendations, lifestyle changes, labs when appropriate, or other next steps.

You can expect me to be attentive, straightforward, and compassionate. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and confident about what comes next.
