Valerie Brandt, ARNP, PMHNP-BC
Valerie is a psychiatric nurse practitioner who helps adults stabilize mood, manage anxiety, reduce overwhelm, and navigate the impact of trauma — past or present. Clients come to Valerie when symptoms are affecting relationships, sleep, work, motivation, or their ability to feel like themselves.
​
Medication may be part of treatment, but it’s never the only focus. Valerie offers support, perspective, and practical strategies alongside medication management to help clients make meaningful, sustainable progress.
Who I Work With
I work with adults ages 25 and older who are seeking support with anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, mood changes, or the impact of ongoing stress. I work extensively with healthcare workers and first responders, and I also see professional adults from all walks of life who are navigating the pressures of work, relationships, family, or major life transitions.
My Approach To Treatment
I provide trauma-informed, whole-person psychiatric care that integrates evidence-based medication evaluation and management with supportive care and practical lifestyle strategies. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion—not one-size-fits-all or overly clinical. I work closely with each client to develop individualized treatment plans informed by current research and adjusted over time, always with your voice at the center. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or burnout—especially in caregiving or high-stress roles—I offer a safe, judgment-free space where you can feel understood, respected, and supported in taking meaningful steps toward mental wellness.
