Great to meet you!

Hello and welcome! I’m Petergay Sterling, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and licensed therapist with over 15 years of experience in mental health care. I’m also a proud Navy veteran, bringing a unique blend of discipline, compassion, and clinical expertise to my practice.

I specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of psychiatric conditions, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, grief, and panic disorder. My approach integrates medication management with a deep understanding of emotional and behavioral health, helping patients find balance and relief through a personalized, evidence-based treatment plan. While I have specialized experience working with veterans, I also enjoy supporting women through major life transitions, including postpartum challenges, mood changes, and anxiety.

My approach to therapy

In our sessions, we’ll explore your full health picture—medical history, lifestyle, current medications, and personal goals—to create a plan that supports both symptom relief and long-term wellness. Whether you're navigating daily stressors or more complex psychiatric symptoms, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space focused on what works best for you.

What you can expect from me

If you're looking for a provider who will listen, collaborate, and help you move forward with clarity and confidence—I’d be honored to support your journey.
