Great to meet you!

I’m Carliqua Spencer, CRNP-PMH, a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I understand how challenging depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, or substance use can be. Many adults feel stuck or uncertain about regaining balance. Together, we create individualized strategies to restore confidence, improve daily functioning, and support lasting mental wellness in a compassionate, judgment-free space helping you take the first step toward feeling more in control.

My approach to therapy

I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and personalized medication management for adults seeking lasting improvement. I treat depression, anxiety, mood, and trauma-related concerns with collaborative, individualized care. I coordinate with community therapists and support government and public service professionals facing high occupational stress.

What you can expect from me

Patients can expect the first session to focus on getting to know them and understanding what brought them to seek care. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space to discuss current concerns, symptoms, and past treatment experiences. During this session, I complete a comprehensive assessment and learn about the client’s goals for treatment. Together, we begin developing a personalized plan that may include therapy, coping strategies, and medication management when appropriate
