Patrice Pearson

Welcome! I’m a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) dedicated to supporting individuals through life’s complexities, transitions, and mental health challenges. My background combines rigorous clinical training in psychiatric medicine with a holistic, person-centered approach. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, burnout, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and life transitions (such as career shifts, relationship changes and life stressors. I hold an advanced degree in nursing with a focus on psychiatry, equipping me to provide comprehensive care that bridges biological, psychological, and lifestyle factors.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and integrative. As a PMHNP, I look at the whole person rather than just a set of symptoms, considering how physical health, environment, and personal history impact mental well-being. My style combines evidence-based psychiatric evaluations, thoughtful medication management (when appropriate), and supportive, action-oriented therapy. I view our work as a partnership—you are the expert on your lived experience, and I am here to offer clinical expertise, compassionate guidance, and practical tools to help you feel grounded, resilient, and empowered.

Your first session is a comprehensive, low-pressure evaluation where we take the time to really understand your story. We’ll discuss your medical and mental health history, current symptoms, goals, and any concerns you have about treatment options. I create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can speak openly and feel heard. By the end of our initial meeting, we will collaborate on a personalized treatment plan—whether that involves medication management, therapy strategies, lifestyle recommendations, or a combination of these—giving you clear, actionable steps forward.
