Counseling for me is about companionship! Companions are with you through the good and the not-so-good. The most important thing in counseling is creating a relationship where people can feel and think how they want to about their experience within the relationship because whether we are stepping in the right or wrong direction we are ever growing and changing. Everyone perceives life through a different lens. Biological, physiological, and environmental variables influence those perspectives in different domains of people’s lives. All ages with: Anxiety, Depression, Addictions, Schizo and Mood Spectrum, Paraphallic, and Trauma.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Ohio


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.
