Samantha Symes

I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care. My background includes years of nursing experience in behavioral health, which has shaped my approach to understanding each person beyond a diagnosis. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma-related concerns, with a focus on psychiatric evaluation and medication management. I believe treatment should be collaborative and individualized, and I want you to feel heard, informed, and actively involved in decisions about your care.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based care. I take time to understand your symptoms, history, concerns, and goals rather than focusing on a diagnosis alone. I believe you should understand your treatment options, including the potential benefits and risks, and feel comfortable asking questions. Together, we’ll develop an individualized treatment plan and make adjustments as your needs change. My goal is for you to feel heard, informed, and actively involved in your care.

Your first session will be a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. We’ll discuss your current concerns, symptoms, mental health and medical history, previous treatments, medications, and what you hope to achieve with care. I’ll take time to answer your questions and discuss potential treatment options with you. Together, we’ll develop an individualized plan based on your needs, preferences, and goals.
