Dr. Shannon Powell

No individual therapy services, only medication management

I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 15 years of healthcare experience. My background includes primary care, urgent care, and mental health, allowing me to take a comprehensive approach to psychiatric care while considering the whole person.

I specialize in the evaluation and medication management of a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, trauma-related disorders, ADHD, bipolar and mood disorders, and other psychiatric concerns. My practice focuses exclusively on psychiatric medication management, using evidence-based treatment approaches and collaborative decision-making to develop individualized treatment plans.

I believe effective psychiatric care begins with listening and understanding each person's unique experiences, symptoms, goals, and treatment preferences. I take the time to educate clients about their diagnoses and medications, discuss treatment options, monitor response and potential side effects, and make adjustments as clinically appropriate.

My approach is warm, compassionate, non-judgmental, and holistic. I strive to create a comfortable environment where clients feel respected, heard, and actively involved in their care.

If you are looking for compassionate, thorough, and personalized psychiatric medication management, I would be honored to support you on your mental health journey.

My approach to psychiatric care is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each individual. I believe effective mental health care starts with truly listening—understanding your story, your symptoms, your concerns, and your goals. From there, we work together to develop a treatment plan that fits your needs, preferences, and comfort level.

As a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I bring a whole-person perspective to psychiatric medication management. I consider both mental and physical health when evaluating symptoms and treatment options. I combine evidence-based medication management with patient education, practical lifestyle recommendations, supportive guidance, and clear communication.

I specialize in the evaluation and medication management of anxiety, depression, trauma-related conditions, ADHD, and mood disorders. My style is warm, open, and non-judgmental. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, discussing concerns, and being an active participant in your treatment decisions.

My goal is not simply to manage symptoms, but to help you feel informed, empowered, and supported throughout your treatment. Together, we can work toward improved mental health, greater stability, and a better quality of life.

(No individual therapy services, only medication management)

Your first appointment is an opportunity for us to get to know you, understand what you’re experiencing, and determine how I can best support you through psychiatric medication management. I want you to feel comfortable, respected, and heard throughout the process.

We’ll begin with a conversation about what brought you in, the concerns you’re experiencing, your treatment goals, and what you hope to accomplish through care. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out—you can share at your own pace.

I’ll ask questions about your medical history, mental health history, current symptoms, medications, previous treatments, and other factors that may be contributing to your overall well-being. This comprehensive evaluation helps me better understand the full picture and determine appropriate treatment options.

Together, we’ll discuss your symptoms, diagnostic considerations, and evidence-based treatment options. When appropriate, this may include starting, continuing, or adjusting psychiatric medications, along with education about medications, potential benefits and side effects, lifestyle recommendations, and referrals for psychotherapy or other services when indicated.

You’ll have plenty of opportunity to ask questions, discuss concerns, and participate in decisions about your treatment. My goal is for you to leave your first appointment feeling understood, informed, and confident about your next steps.

This is the beginning of a collaborative approach to your mental health care, and I look forward to working with you toward greater stability, wellness, and quality of life.
