Tess Brightman

Hi, I’m Tess Brightman, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I hold a master's degree from Charles Drew University and have a background in emergency room care, where I spent 15 years. My first role as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner was as an inpatient provider, where I cared for individuals with severe depression, anxiety, and psychotic disorders. Over time, I developed a passion for women's health and perinatal psychiatry, which continues to drive my practice today.

Ultimately, my goal is for every client to feel heard, understood, and empowered. Through our work together, you should feel more confident, informed, and equipped to handle the challenges you face, with a clear path toward achieving your mental health goals.

In my sessions, I strive to create a balanced approach that includes both therapy and medication management. We won't only discuss medications; we'll also explore lifestyle changes and other holistic approaches that can support your mental health. My goal is for everyone to feel heard, understood, and supported.
