Experience Protected Care for Life’s Most Vulnerable Moments
Seven short questions. No login. A small step toward understanding where you are today.
Modern Psychiatry has become a factory, but your mind isn’t a product.
I’ve seen firsthand how rushed appointments and surface-level fixes leave patients feeling overlooked and unheard. I built Nest to be the antidote. Here, we trade clinical noise for intentional, unhurried care that looks at the whole person, ensuring you get the depth of care you actually deserve.
At Nest, we go far below the surface to better understand the unique factors shaping your mental health. When clinically appropriate, we incorporate advanced laboratory testing to explore potential biological contributors to symptoms such as anxiety, depression, fatigue, brain fog, and mood changes. Rather than focusing solely on what you’re experiencing, we seek to understand why you may be experiencing it. Through targeted evaluation of hormones, nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, and other biomarkers we then develop individualized treatment plans that empower meaningful healing.
I just dont even know where to start
I’ve tried multi-remedies, medications & providers but, still feel down
Rushed services & a sense of uncertainty
We take the time to truly understand your story. Through comprehensive 45-to-60-minute evaluations, we explore your lifestyle, routines, and complete medical and psychiatric history looking beyond the diagnosis to better understand the person behind it.
True wellness begins at the cellular level. When indicated, we look at targeted biomarker testing including nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, and inflammation markers to uncover the biological contributors impacting your mental clarity.
Your care plan incorporates sustainable, evidence-based approaches to sleep, nutrition, stress management, and lifestyle optimization, carefully tailored to support your mental health goals.
We offer secure messaging & follow-up appointments to ensure you always feel supported and connected even between appointments.
Your mental health does not exist in isolation from the rest of your health. With your permission, we coordinate closely with therapists, primary care providers, and specialists to ensure your care remains cohesive, intentional, and aligned with your goals.
Nest Psychiatry was born from a simple belief: you deserve more than a rushed appointment, a diagnosis, and a prescription. As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I’ve witnessed firsthand how many people feel overlooked in today’s mental health system. That’s why I created Nest a place where care is intentional, personalized, and centered around understanding the whole person, not just the symptoms.
For more than nine years, I’ve worked as a coach, educator, nurse, and psychiatric provider across a variety of mental health settings. Today, I combine that experience with a thoughtful, evidence-based approach that may include therapy, lifestyle optimization, medication management, and lab-informed care when appropriate. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, or simply seeking greater balance in your life, you’ve found a safe place to heal, grow, and thrive.
“For the first time, I felt truly heard. Susan took the time to understand not only my symptoms, but my experiences, goals, and concerns. I never felt rushed or judged. The level of compassion, attention, and personalized care I received at Nest Psychiatry was unlike anything I had experienced before. I finally feel confident that I have a treatment plan built specifically for me.”
“After years of struggling with anxiety and trying different medications, I was frustrated and losing hope. Susan approached my care differently. She took the time to ask questions that no provider had ever asked and helped me understand factors that may have been contributing to how I was feeling. I left my appointment feeling empowered, supported, and optimistic for the first time in years.”
“Nest Psychiatry is everything mental health care should be. Susan creates a safe, welcoming environment where you immediately feel comfortable opening up. Every appointment feels thoughtful and intentional, and I never feel like just another patient on a schedule. I finally feel seen, understood, and supported throughout my healing journey.”
“I chose Nest Psychiatry because I wanted more than a diagnosis and a prescription—I wanted answers. From the very first appointment, it was clear that this practice was different. The personalized approach, attention to detail, and focus on understanding the whole person helped me make meaningful progress. I feel healthier, more balanced, and more hopeful about my future than I have in a long time.”
“Staff is very helpful and friendly. Appointments have been ON time! Concerns were addressed about medication being prescribed not being effective enough and possibly causing ticks. We have had a great experience so far.”
We believe exceptional psychiatric care begins with listening not rushing. That’s why every new patient receives a comprehensive 45–60 minute evaluation, allowing us to explore your symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, lifestyle, relationships, and overall well-being in meaningful depth. This thoughtful approach helps us develop an accurate diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and long-term goals.
Medication should be prescribed with intention, not as the only solution, but as one part of a personalized treatment plan. When medication is appropriate, we use an evidence-based approach to carefully select treatments that align with your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and personal goals. Through regular follow-up appointments and ongoing evaluation, we thoughtfully monitor your progress and make intentional adjustments to maximize benefits, minimize side effects, and support your long-term mental wellness.
Your mental health is influenced by every aspect of your life. That’s why we look beyond symptoms to understand the lifestyle, habits, and daily experiences that shape your overall well-being. By combining evidence-based psychiatric care with personalized strategies for sleep, nutrition, stress management, and healthy routines, we help you build a stronger foundation for lasting emotional wellness.
Sometimes the answers lie beneath the surface. When clinically appropriate, we incorporate advanced laboratory testing to identify biological factors such as nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, inflammation, and other health markers that may be contributing to your mental health symptoms. These valuable insights allow us to personalize your care with greater precision, helping ensure your treatment is as individualized as you are.
