Many challenges we carry stem not only from our own experiences, but from trauma and patterns passed down through generations. I specialize in generational and relational healing, supporting individuals and parents who feel stuck in cycles they want to change. Together, we explore how early attachment experiences and relational trauma live in your body, emotions, and nervous system, shaping your connections today. Therapy is collaborative and exploratory, creating space for insight, resilience, and meaningful change.

Hello. My name is Mary ‘Sarah’ Houston. I have been a Mental Health nurse for 20 years. I have been a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) since November, 2016. As a PMHNP, I have worked inpatient and outpatient psychiatry, along with working at a crisis stabilization unit for mental health crises. As well, I have training in mental health Telehealth. I have worked with clients with depression, anxiety, insomnia, schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, substance use disorder, and PTSD.

I am a double board-certified Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience across the continuum of psychiatric care, including acute psychiatric emergencies, inpatient and outpatient psychiatry, geriatric mental health, intellectual and developmental disability services, and healthcare management. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and am currently completing my Doctorate, reflecting my ongoing commitment to clinical excellence, evidence-based practice, and lifelong learning.

Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals and families navigating a wide range of psychiatric conditions, from situational anxiety and depression to severe and persistent mental illness. My clinical experience includes extensive work with schizophrenia and psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma-related conditions, and mood instability across the lifespan. I am particularly experienced in caring for geriatric patients, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and patients with complex medication regimens requiring careful evaluation, simplification, and long-term stabilization.

I also work closely with college-aged patients and adults who are navigating academic pressure, career transitions, family dynamics, identity development, and the cumulative stressors that can emerge during periods of high responsibility or change. Many of my patients are high-functioning individuals who appear “put together” on the outside but struggle internally with anxiety, rumination, intrusive thoughts, emotional dysregulation, or burnout. Others are managing chronic psychiatric illness while striving to maintain independence, relationships, and quality of life.
