Great to meet you!

Seeking help for your mental health takes courage, and I'm honored you're considering me to be part of your journey. My goal is to provide compassionate, respectful care where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful progress.

Hello! I'm Tyhesha Ware, DNP, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping adults improve their mental health and overall quality of life.

My background includes caring for veterans, individuals with complex medical and psychiatric needs, and people from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Before becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I spent years as a registered nurse in primary care, care management, public health, and correctional healthcare. Those experiences taught me that every person's story is unique and that effective treatment begins with listening without judgment.

I treat a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, stress, and other emotional challenges. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your treatment decisions.

Whether you're seeking help for the first time or continuing your mental health journey, I'm committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to your individual needs.

My approach to therapy

I believe the best mental health care is collaborative. Rather than simply prescribing medication, I take time to understand your experiences, goals, strengths, and the factors that may be affecting your emotional well-being.

My approach is evidence-based, trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and patient-centered. Together, we'll discuss your symptoms, review treatment options, and create a plan that aligns with your goals and lifestyle. Medication may be one part of treatment when appropriate, but I also emphasize healthy coping strategies, education, lifestyle factors, and coordination with therapists or other healthcare providers when beneficial.

My experience working with veterans, healthcare professionals, and individuals in high-stress environments has given me a deep understanding of the unique emotional challenges that can accompany demanding careers.

I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel comfortable asking questions, expressing concerns, and participating in every step of your care.

What you can expect from me

Your first appointment is an opportunity for us to get to know one another.

We'll spend time discussing what brought you to treatment, your current symptoms, medical and mental health history, medications, lifestyle, and the goals you hope to achieve. I'll ask questions to better understand your experiences, but there is no pressure to share everything at once. We move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

By the end of the visit, we'll review my clinical impressions, discuss treatment recommendations, answer any questions you have, and develop an initial plan together. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and with a clear understanding of the next steps in your care.
