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 a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 17 years of experience in nursing, beginning my career in 2007. As a 55-year-old African American female provider, I bring both clinical expertise and life experience into my practice, creating a compassionate and supportive space where patients feel heard, respected, and understood.

My approach to care is holistic and patient-centered, recognizing that mental health is influenced by emotional, physical, social, and cultural factors. I practice using a participatory and affirming style, partnering with my patients to develop treatment plans that align with their goals, values, and strengths. I believe in empowering individuals through education, collaboration, and encouragement.

While I strive to create a warm and supportive environment, I am also direct when needed, providing clear guidance and evidence-based treatment recommendations to support safety, stability, and long-term wellness.

My greatest strengths include empathy, active listening, cultural understanding, and a deep commitment to helping individuals improve their quality of life. I am passionate about supporting people on their journey toward healing, resilience, and mental well-being.
