Great to meet you!

Dana Eason, PMHNP BC, is a board certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in psychiatric nursing and more than a decade as an independent mental health practitioner. She specializes in integrative psychiatry, combining medication management and psychotherapy to support whole person healing. Dana has advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, trauma focused care, adult ADHD, substance use disorders, and treatment resistant depression, along with extensive education in natural and plant based medicine.

Dana primarily works with adults and is passionate about providing informed, compassionate care where you are a partner in your mental health journey. She offers a supportive and conversational approach tailored to each client’s needs. She is especially dedicated to supporting individuals navigating trauma, neurodiversity, recovery, and those who may feel marginalized in traditional mental health spaces. Her goal is to help you build confidence, gain practical tools, and move forward in Becoming your best self.

My approach to therapy

My approach to care is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence based. I believe the best outcomes happen when we work together, combining thoughtful medication management with therapy and practical strategies that support your overall well-being. My goal is to listen carefully, understand your unique experiences, and create a personalized plan that empowers you to make confident decisions about your mental health.

What you can expect from me

In your first session, whether virtual or in person, we will take time to get to know each other and discuss your concerns, goals, and history so we can better understand how to support you. It is a relaxed, conversational space where you can share at your own pace. Together with me and my team, we will begin identifying the best path forward and discuss treatment options tailored to your needs.
