Maryann Matheson

I am a dual board-certified Psychiatric and Geriatric Nurse Practitioner with experience working across the adult lifespan, including individuals with complex mood disorders, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and medical-psychiatric overlap. Please note that I do not prescribe stimulant medications. When clinically appropriate, I can evaluate and treat ADHD using non-stimulant treatment options. Much of my career has focused on caring for older adults and individuals with co-occurring medical and mental health conditions, which has shaped my thoughtful, whole-person approach to treatment. I value thorough assessments and practical strategies that promote meaningful and sustainable progress. I work best with adults who are seeking clarity, stability, and a structured path forward. I provide care in both English and Spanish.

My approach is balanced, structured, and individualized. I provide thoughtful and proactive medication management and carefully adjust treatment plans as needed to support stability and progress. At the same time, I believe medication works best as part of a comprehensive plan that may include brief, practical, skills-based strategies to improve thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and everyday coping. I consider medical history, lifestyle factors, stressors, and personal strengths when developing treatment recommendations. My goal is not only to reduce symptoms, but also to improve functioning, emotional stability, and long-term resilience.

During our first session, we will take time to review your history, current concerns, prior treatments, and goals for care. I will ask thoughtful questions to better understand patterns, contributing factors, and any medical issues that may be influencing symptoms. By the end of the visit, we will discuss my initial clinical impressions, any areas that may require further evaluation, evidence-based treatment options, and a structured plan for next steps. My intention is for you to leave feeling heard, informed, and supported with a clear direction forward. Before scheduling an initial evaluation, I require a brief 15-minute consultation to determine whether my practice and treatment approach are a good fit for your needs. Please note that I do not prescribe stimulant medications.
