Shannon Barnicle

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 20 years of experience in behavioral health, hospice, and primary care mental health integration. Skilled in psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning, and intervention, I have worked with diverse populations including children, seniors, veterans, incarcerated individuals, and patients with severe mental illness. I excel at integrating the biopsychosocial model to deliver patient-centered outcomes and continuity of care.

I provide psychiatric and behavioral health care grounded in listening, respect, and teamwork. By applying the biopsychosocial model, My care plans consider psychiatric, physical, social, and environmental factors. Treatment is guided by evidence-based methods and outcome measurement, with a focus on trust, transparency, and patient empowerment. Collaboration with interdisciplinary teams, community resources, and families ensures seamless, dignified care that supports resilience and long-term wellness.

Your first appointment lasts 1–1.5 hours and covers your medical history, symptoms, and treatment goals. You'll discuss mental health and family history, lifestyle, and medications, leading to a personalized plan, which may include medication or therapy. Together we will create a plan for treatment based on your goals.
