My name is Doug L. Watson, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, RN, and I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with three years of experience treating clients across the lifespan. While I’m trained to work with individuals of all ages, about 85% of my practice has been focused on pediatrics and adolescents—a population I’m truly passionate about serving. I see children as young as five years old through Telehealth up to ages 75 or higher if needed. I earned both my BSN and MSN from Indiana Wesleyan University, completing my graduate degree in October 2022.

I genuinely love what I do and have always felt called to the field of psychiatry. Becoming a Psych/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner has been one of the most fulfilling decisions of my life. I’m excited to be on my own, building a lasting career. I’m committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care and making a positive difference in the lives of my clients and their families.

Welcome ! I’m grateful you're considering therapy and taking this important step toward your well-being, With over 20 years of experience and a Ph.D. in Psychology from Ball State University, I've had the privilege of working with clients navigating a wide range of concerns-from ADHD, Autism diagnostic assessments to Women's health issues and beyond.

Welcome. I am pleased to meet with you and offer you the space and opportunity to embark on this path of healing. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, authorized to practice in both Kentucky and Indiana. My approach is compassionate and centered on you, as your well-being is my top priority. I strive to incorporate kindness, humility, and a personal touch into our sessions, fostering an environment that encourages you to smile and recognize your self-worth.

My experience has afforded me the privilege of conducting in-person therapy and telehealth with a diverse range of individuals, from students to residents in nursing homes. My encounters with trauma-related events have heightened my sensitivity to those who often feel unheard. Families, children, and individuals each possess their own uniqueness, frequently emerging from fractured and dysregulated homes. What is abnormal for them often becomes their new normal as they transition into adulthood. I have assisted a variety of individuals in their quest for self-understanding, including those mourning the loss of a loved one or individuals grappling with the pressures of daily life and the remnants of past trauma they have concealed.

Life presents challenges and offers no assurances; therefore, it is essential to grant yourself the time and space to breathe. There will be no judgments, no blame, and no demands. This is a space for you to express yourself openly, as you truly possess the keys to your own happiness. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
