I'm John Brion, PhD, PMHNP. I work with individuals aged 12 and up, offering assessment, diagnosis, and treatment for a range of psychiatric conditions, including: ADHD, mood disorders (anxiety, depression, bipolar), addictions (substance and behavioral), and more. I am accepting new patients in Delaware and North Carolina and have immediate availability. My practice, Collaborative Mental Health, is a safe, welcoming space for working through life's challenges. Please visit the website to complete a new patient inquiry form and schedule your appointment.
As a Psychiatric NP, I take a holistic approach to patient care. My goal is to understand you as a unique and complex person, not just your symptoms and diagnosis. I’m here to help you discover your own strengths, explore new perspectives, and support your growth through difficult challenges- with or without medication.
It takes strength and courage to ask for help, but it is the first (and often most difficult) step toward healing. Whatever you're facing, we can work together to help you find a path forward. Help is available for any problem, and real solutions are possible. Let’s talk about it, I’m ready to hear all that you want to share.
Take the first step to help. Call or Dr. John M. Brion now - (302) 205-0815
