Great to meet you!

My name is Samantha Thomsen, I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner as well as an adult gerontology acute care nurse practitioner. I have been practicing as a nurse practitioner for 5 years in my community. I have worked in hospitals, out patient clinics and most recently in a mental health crisis center. I enjoy helping people with all different types of mental health issues.

My approach to therapy

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping clients feel supported, understood, and empowered as they work toward meaningful change. I provide care in a warm, nonjudgmental environment where you can feel comfortable discussing challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, mood concerns, life transitions, and overall emotional wellness.

My approach is solution-focused and collaborative. I believe treatment works best when we work as a team to identify practical strategies, realistic goals, and the tools that fit your unique life. Whether that includes medication management, supportive guidance, lifestyle changes, or coping skills, I tailor care to your individual needs rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

Clients often describe me as approachable, compassionate, and easy to talk to. I value creating a space where you feel heard while also leaving sessions with a clearer plan and renewed sense of hope. My goal is to help you build confidence, improve daily functioning, and move forward feeling stronger and more in control.

Seeking help can be a big first step, and I’m honored to be part of that journey with you.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I will get to know you and what your goals are for treatment. We will work together to create a plan that is agreeable to both of us and then we will work toward implementing that plan.
