Hi, I’m Sally Summers, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy for adults, teens, and children, with a focus on ADHD, anxiety, panic disorder, depression, PTSD, bipolar and mood disorders, and stress-related burnout.
My background includes a degree in Psychology and two graduate degrees in Nursing with a specialization in psychiatry. I take a thoughtful, individualized approach to care- combining evidence-based treatment with a deeper understanding of how your symptoms, lifestyle, and stressors all connect.
Sessions are collaborative, focused, and designed to give you both clarity and direction. You’ll have space to be open and understood, while also gaining practical tools and a treatment plan that actually fits your day-to-day life.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, difficulty focusing, mood changes, or feeling stuck, my goal is to help you feel more steady, confident, and in control- not just in the moment, but long-term.

I am passionate about perinatal mental health care and partnering with you in your healing journey.
I’m a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with experience in both private practice and community mental health settings.

My training across both primary care and psychiatry allows me to take a comprehensive, whole-person approach to care.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Johnson City, TN
Finding psychiatrists in Johnson City starts with knowing what type of mental health care you want to explore. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. Therapists focus on talk therapy and skills-based support. Both can be useful entry points depending on your needs. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, read each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and care approach before booking.
In a smaller city like Johnson City, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger Tennessee markets. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still letting you filter for psychiatrists licensed in Tennessee. Psychiatric care often follows a different cadence than therapy, with medication management appointments that are usually shorter and less frequent than weekly therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare profiles, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Johnson City can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to search for psychiatrists who accept your plan, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and book directly when you are ready. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, and Headway verifies your insurance information so you can focus on finding a clinical fit, appointment format, and schedule that work for you.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
