Dr. Carisa Peeples

Hi, I’m Carisa Peeples, a Doctorally prepared Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 15 years of healthcare experience. My background includes psychiatric emergency care, crisis stabilization, and working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, ADHD, and life stressors.

I believe mental health treatment should be compassionate, individualized, and collaborative. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard while we work together to develop a treatment plan that fits their needs and goals.

My approach is patient-centered and evidence-based. I take time to understand each person’s unique story, symptoms, lifestyle, and goals before creating a treatment plan.

I specialize in medication management while also incorporating supportive therapy, education, coping skills, and lifestyle strategies. I believe in working with clients, not just prescribing medication, so they understand their options and feel confident in their care.

I focus on building trust, reducing symptoms, improving daily functioning, and helping clients feel more like themselves again.

During our first session, we will complete a thorough psychiatric evaluation where we discuss your current concerns, symptoms, medical history, past experiences with treatment, and your goals.

You can expect a judgment-free, supportive conversation where you are encouraged to share at your own pace. Together, we will create a personalized plan that may include medication options, coping strategies, and next steps to help you move toward improved mental wellness.

My goal is for you to leave the first appointment feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about your treatment plan.
