Great to meet you!

Hello, I'm Kimara Vaughn a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner + Naturopathic Physician. I treat mental health from both sides — evidence-informed medication management and brief therapy, plus an understanding of how nutrition, environment and lifestyle affect your nervous system.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and burnout — especially for people who feel “wired but tired” and have tried talk therapy alone without enough relief.

I offer medication management, brief therapy, and education on stress physiology and mind-body tools.

My style is inquisitive and collaborative. I don't just treat symptoms. I help you understand why you feel the way you do and what actually works for your nervous system.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation with an integrated holistic assessment. I take an inquisitive, supportive approach to understand your symptoms, history, and goals — including sleep, nutrition, and stress. You'll leave with a clearer treatment plan and feel heard, not rushed. Website: www.meridianclinic.org
