Do you feel on edge, stuck in worry, or unable to focus? Or maybe you're feeling down, unmotivated, and tired no matter how much you rest? You don't have to figure this out alone. Hi, I'm Melissa, a psychiatric nurse practitioner who works with adults 18-64 navigating burnout, stress, anxiety, depression, and other struggles that are getting in the way of the life you want to live. I started Rooted Mind Psychiatric Services because I believe that, just like a tree needs strong roots to weather a storm, the right treatment can give you a steady foundation for whatever life brings.
Medication is often just one piece of the picture. We can also talk about sleep, routines, nutrition, and stressors, because how you live day to day shapes how you feel. I see you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis. My hope is that you leave every visit feeling heard, informed, and a little lighter.
A few things to know: an ADHD diagnosis may require a neuropsychological evaluation first (referrals available). Stimulants aren't prescribed at the initial visit, as they require a full medical assessment. I don't prescribe benzodiazepines or hypnotics, and can't provide disability evaluations, ESA letters, or FMLA paperwork.
