Perrie Gooden

I’m Perrie Gooden, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a background in neuroscience and a passion for helping individuals feel like themselves again. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, mood concerns, life transitions, and other mental health challenges. I have a special interest in women’s mental health, including the emotional changes that can occur during pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and centered around the whole person—not just a diagnosis or a list of symptoms. I take time to understand what you are experiencing, what may be contributing to it, and what you hope to change. Together, we’ll create an individualized treatment plan that may include medication management, supportive psychotherapy, lifestyle considerations, and practical strategies you can use in everyday life. I believe the best care happens when you feel informed, respected, and actively involved in your treatment.

Our first session is an opportunity for me to get to know you beyond your symptoms. We’ll talk about what brought you to care, your mental and physical health history, current concerns, relationships, lifestyle, and what you would like to feel differently in your life. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions and sharing at your own pace. By the end of our visit, we’ll discuss my recommendations and begin creating a treatment plan that feels realistic and aligned with your goals.
