Bryanna Baptiste

Hello, I’m Bryanna Baptiste, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to delivering compassionate, patient-centered mental health care. I bring over a decade of experience in nursing and behavioral health, with a strong foundation in psychology and advanced training in psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning.

I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Northeastern University and completed my fellowship in Behavioral Health through Atrium Health’s Center for Advanced Practice.

In my clinical practice, I specialize in treating a broad range of psychiatric conditions using evidence-based approaches and trauma-informed care. I have served as a preceptor and educator, mentoring future psychiatric providers and delivering educational sessions on crisis de-escalation, patient advocacy, and safety.

I’m passionate about helping clients achieve mental wellness by fostering a safe, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic environment.

I approach mental health care through a holistic and collaborative lens. I believe healing happens in the context of connection—within ourselves, with others, and within our communities. My style is warm, grounded, and person-centered. I aim to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to take an active role in their healing journey.

I specialize in trauma-informed care and integrate evidence-based practices with a whole-person approach, recognizing the importance of emotional, physical, spiritual, and social well-being. Whether managing mood disorders, navigating life transitions, or addressing complex trauma, I tailor treatment plans to fit each client’s unique needs, values, and lived experiences.

I see mental health not just as symptom relief, but as an invitation to greater alignment, resilience, and wholeness—and I’m honored to walk alongside clients on that path.

In my practice, I strive to create a calm, welcoming, and culturally responsive environment where clients feel safe, supported, and empowered. I recognize that trust is foundational to healing, so I prioritize building strong therapeutic relationships rooted in respect, compassion, and collaboration.

The goals I typically work toward with clients include improving emotional regulation, increasing self-awareness, developing healthy coping strategies, and building a deeper sense of self-agency. Depending on individual needs, we may also focus on reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, or trauma, strengthening relationships, and restoring a sense of balance and purpose.

I view progress not just as symptom relief, but as a return to alignment—with one’s values, identity, and capacity for growth. Whether someone is seeking stability, transformation, or simply a space to be heard, my aim is to support that process with clinical expertise and wholehearted presence.
