Kaitlyn Matthews

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a background in both medical and psychiatric nursing. I primarily work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, and sleep concerns. My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I’m interested in understanding the whole person, including the physical health, lifestyle, relationships, and life experiences that influence mental well-being. My goal is to create a comfortable, judgment-free space where you feel heard and we can make treatment decisions together.

I take a collaborative, individualized approach to mental health care, focusing on understanding what may be contributing to your symptoms and identifying treatment options that best support your needs and goals. When medication may be helpful, I aim to use it thoughtfully, considering benefits, potential side effects, alternatives, and your preferences. I also incorporate evidence-based therapeutic principles, including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused approaches.

You can expect a welcoming and open environment where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences, concerns, and goals. I believe meaningful change begins with feeling heard and understood. Together, we'll explore what's important to you and develop a personalized plan with realistic, manageable steps toward improving your mental health and overall well-being. My goal is to help you feel supported, empowered, and confident in your care.
