Stacey McCutcheon

I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 17 years of nursing experience across inpatient, emergency, acute care, critical care, and psychiatric settings. Throughout my career, I have cared for individuals facing a wide range of medical and mental health challenges, including those experiencing psychiatric crises and acute behavioral health concerns.

My experience in emergency medicine, critical care, and psychiatric settings has shaped my understanding of how mental health affects every aspect of a person's life and reinforced my belief that everyone deserves compassionate, individualized care. It has also strengthened my commitment to treating the whole person, not just their symptoms.

I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, mood disorders, and other mental health challenges. I have a particular appreciation for the unique experiences of veterans, active-duty military members, first responders, healthcare professionals, and others who work in high-stress environments.

My approach is practical, compassionate, and patient-centered. I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your care. We’ll work together to develop a personalized treatment plan that reflects your needs, priorities, and goals while supporting your overall well-being.

My approach is practical, compassionate, and patient-centered. I believe meaningful progress begins with a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your care. We’ll work together to develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals, incorporating evidence-based medication management, supportive therapy, and practical strategies to build resilience and support your overall well-being.

Seeking help takes courage. My goal is to provide a welcoming, judgment-free space where you can feel comfortable discussing your concerns, better understand your options, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

During our first session, my primary goal is to get to know you and understand what brings you to treatment. We’ll talk about your current concerns and symptoms, personal and medical history, previous mental health treatment, and the factors that may be affecting your well-being. I also want to understand your strengths, priorities, and goals for treatment.

Your first appointment is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation designed to develop a thorough understanding of your needs and inform personalized treatment recommendations. We’ll discuss possible diagnoses, treatment options, and whether medication, therapy, lifestyle changes, or a combination of approaches may be most helpful for you.

I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you can feel comfortable asking questions and sharing your experiences openly. You’ll have an opportunity to be an active part of the decision-making process, and we’ll identify a plan that feels appropriate for your needs and goals. By the end of the session, you can expect a clearer understanding of your options and a thoughtful plan for moving forward.
