Hi! I am Christina Doss- Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) specializing- in providing psychotherapy and medication management to adults of all ages to help navigate Anxiety, ADHD - ADD, depression, burnout, hormonal - changes, perimenopause, menopause and postpartum (PPD). In addition, I help with family and relationship issues and conflicts.

If you are feeling mentally exhausted, suffer from brain fog, struggling to focus, or finding it difficult to keep up with task and demands of work, school, relationships, parenting, or everyday responsibilities, you are not alone.

Many women and men come to treatment during seasons of transition, whether they are navigating career changes, academic pressures, relationship or marriage concerns, divorce, parenting stress, grief, health challenges, or adjusting to a new stage of life.

Others may be struggling with executive dysfunction, ADHD, focus and concentration difficulties, organization, organize thoughts, motivation, manage time, or regulate emotions and feeling overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life.

Many of my clients experience anxiety, depression, seasonal depression and feel disconnected from the life they want to create, and my goal is to help you "Grow and Glow" and together create the best life possible.

Together, we will look at the whole picture—not just symptoms, but also your relationships, strengths, stressors, and goals—to create a plan that fits your unique needs.As an independent provider, I believe meaningful mental health care begins with feeling heard. My goal is for every patient to feel seen, understood, and supported.

I believe hope, guidance, and the right support can make a powerful difference. My role is to walk alongside you, help clear the path forward, provide practical tools, and empower you to move toward the life you want to create. You don't have to do it alone.

Hi, I am Joe, a licensed mental health therapist. I believe that people are capable of change, which is why I do what I do. It's understandable if you come to therapy feeling low and unmotivated. This is normal. Your first step in coming here is a big deal and not an easy decision or task. That right there is motivation. I believe in a collaborative approach and meeting you where you are in your life. I am not an expert on you, but we can work together to understand what is getting in the way of your goals and make plans to address these areas. I am here to help you figure out what needs to change and to guide you through the process of improving your mental health and growing as a person. I am a caring, open, and non-judgmental person, who loves cats, music, reading, and video games. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, especially around a bon fire.
