Bryant Parson,
PMHNP / FNP
I am a dual board-certified Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, practicing since 2018. My training across both disciplines gives me a perspective that's somewhat rare in psychiatric care — the ability to see your mental health within the full context of your physical health, not separate from it.
I take a science-based approach to care while recognizing the art of tailoring treatment plans to each individual. No two people experience mental health the same way, and no two treatment plans should be identical.
On medication
I believe in the medical model. I believe medications work. That doesn't mean they're right for everyone — and where possible, the goal should be for you to live your life without long-term dependence on them. Medication is a tool, not a destination.
On therapy
Psychiatry without therapy is rarely enough. I advocate for a collaborative care model — working alongside therapists, primary care providers, and other members of your care team to achieve the best possible outcomes. If you don't have a therapist, I'll help you find one.
On the whole person
Sleep, movement, nutrition, relationships, meaning — these aren't soft add-ons to a treatment plan. They're foundational. Every conversation we have will take these into account.
