I am Alicia West, PMHNP and founder of West Ascent Psychiatry. Whether you are facing social challenges, academic stress, or major life transitions, you deserve a partner who sees the whole person, not just a diagnosis. My ideal clients are children, adolescents, young adults, and families navigating the complexities of anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, OCD, and PTSD. I offer a safe, trauma-informed space to target your most impactful symptoms through medication and therapy. Serving ages 6 and up via a hybrid model, my goal is your "ascent" toward success and healing.
I help you move beyond anxiety, ADHD, and stress. I offer psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and trauma-informed, solution-focused psychotherapy. My specialty is supporting youths and young families with a collaborative, symptom-focused approach, drawing on my emergency medicine background to ensure stability and healing.
It's exhausting feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and alone. I see you, and I know finding the right support is hard. This is a courageous step. Let's work together to find stability and move toward a better future.
