Josie Sullivan, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
  • I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with a Master of Science in Nursing. I have over 12 years of nursing experience and 2 years of advanced practice in mental health care. I specialize in treating individuals aged 16 and older across the full spectrum of psychiatric diagnoses, including but not limited to mood disorders, anxiety, psychotic disorders, and trauma-related conditions. With a compassionate, evidence-based approach, I am committed to fostering therapeutic relationships that empower patients in their journey toward mental wellness. My clinical expertise is grounded in holistic care, patient education, and collaborative treatment planning tailored to each individual's unique needs.
