Struggling with ADHD, depression, anxiety, or burnout—even though you’re used to handling everything well? I’m Chelsea Smith, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Thrive Psychiatry. I provide integrative psychiatry and medication management for teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and perimenopausal mood and focus changes. Many of my patients are high-functioning individuals who are used to managing a lot but find that stress, hormonal changes, or attention difficulties begin to affect work, relationships, and daily life.

I take an integrative approach to psychiatric care, looking beyond symptoms to understand the full picture. Together we create a personalized plan that may include medication, lifestyle changes, mindfulness, targeted supplements, genetic testing, or hormone evaluation when appropriate.

Our first appointment is a 75-minute comprehensive evaluation where we explore your mental health history and develop a personalized treatment plan. Ready to get started? Reach out to schedule your initial consultation.

I view medication as one of many evidence-based tools in treatment. While medication can be highly beneficial, it is rarely the sole element needed for optimal wellness. I emphasize using research-backed medication options in conjunction with non-pharmacological approaches to support overall care.
