Sydney Stivers

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I believe that taking care of your mental health starts with feeling comfortable, respected, and truly heard. I provide personalized care for depression, anxiety disorders, ADHD, PTSD, and adjustment disorders. I’m here to meet you where you are, listen without judgment, and support you in reaching your goals.

I hold a Master of Science in Nursing from Herzing University, an Associate Degree in Nursing from Goodwin University, and a Bachelor of Science in Biobehavioral Health from Pennsylvania State University.

I believe effective mental health care starts with getting to know you as a whole person, not just focusing on a diagnosis or symptoms. I consider your lifestyle, experiences, goals, and personal circumstances when developing an individualized plan of care. I take a conservative approach to medication management, using medication thoughtfully when it can provide meaningful benefit. I value open communication and collaboration so that you feel comfortable, informed, and actively involved in your care.

The first session is a welcoming, judgment-free space to talk about what brings you in and what you hope to accomplish. We’ll explore your goals, identify key challenges or patterns, and begin creating a plan that feels practical and personalized to you. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and clear about the next steps. We’ll work collaboratively and at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
