Dr. Rachel Marsden

Hello! I’m Dr. Rachel, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who works with children, teens, and young adults (ages 18-30). I earned my BA in Comparative Cultures and Politics from Michigan State University, my BSN from Duke University, and my DNP in Psychiatric Mental Health from the University of Washington. I completed a fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Seattle Children's Hospital. Before becoming a nurse practitioner, I spent eight years working as an emergency department nurse in pediatric and adult settings.

My approach to psychiatry is curious, collaborative, and centered on each person’s story. I work closely with patients and their families to find treatments that fit their needs and support their overall well-being. My goal is to help young people feel more balanced, connected, and engaged in what matters most to them.

During the first visit, I take time to understand your or your child's experiences and health background. Together, we’ll explore goals for treatment and begin creating a plan that feels supportive and personalized. My goal is for you to leave our first session feeling heard, understood, and ready to move forward with care that fits your needs.
