Meet Benjamin O'Brien
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner helping Adults with Anxiety, Depression, ADHD and Sleep Disorders Achieve Lasting Mental Wellness!
Finding the right mental health provider can feel overwhelming, especially when you’ve been carrying stress, anxiety, or uncertainty on your own. I work with adults who want thoughtful, collaborative care and a better understanding of what they’re experiencing—not just a quick prescription. My approach blends evidence-based medication management with a whole-person perspective, considering your mental health, physical health, and life circumstances together. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered as we create a treatment plan that fits your life and helps you move forward with greater clarity and stability.
I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adults, specializing in anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, and substance use. With training in both primary care and psychiatry, I take a collaborative, whole-person approach focused on thoughtful, individualized treatment.
