I’m Shannon McNamara, a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 16 years of experience in mental health specialties. I specialize in integrative psychiatry, combining medication management with supportive therapies like CBT and DBT. Whether you're a teen or an adult, my goal is to create a safe and understanding space just for you and provide you with the tools you need to live your life to its fullest potential.
In your first session with me, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where we will discuss your mental health history, current concerns, and goals for treatment. We'll complete a comprehensive assessment to understand your unique needs and develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include medication management and supportive therapies like CBT and DBT. This session is an opportunity for you to share your story, ask questions, and begin building a trusting therapeutic relationship.
My greatest strengths as a provider are my extensive experience and integrative treatment methods. With a deep understanding of various mental health challenges gained through personal and professional experiences, I am dedicated to offering tailored care. My expertise in medication management and therapies like CBT and DBT allows me to provide comprehensive support that addresses the holistic well-being of each individual.
I serve adolescent and adult clients who are seeking mental health care. Whether you are feeling down, overwhelmed, stressed out, can't focus, having mood swings, angry, irritable, unmotivated, or scared, I am here to help. If you or your therapist believe that adding medication could benefit you, I provide compassionate support. I specialize in treating ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, sleep disorders, and obesity.

Shannon has been a huge help with my mental health. My adhd was undiagnosed until I started seeing her at 35 y/o, and she has helped me with medication that has greatly improved my life overall. Shannon is a great listener and takes the time to hear and understand what you are experiencing and need!
