Dr. Britten White
I'm a dual board-certified family and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with a passion for providing compassionate, holistic mental health care.
I blend evidence-based psychiatric care with integrative and faith-informed practices to treat the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
I offer evidence-based treatment that supports the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—and specialize in integrative psychiatry, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Christian counseling for those who desire faith-based support. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, I strive to create a safe, respectful space where healing and growth can begin.
First session
In your first session with me, you can expect a warm, welcoming, and judgment-free space where we’ll begin getting to know each other. I’ll take time to understand your concerns, personal history, and goals for treatment, and we’ll talk about what’s been working—or not working—for you so far. I’ll also explain my approach to care, including how integrative psychiatry, psychotherapy, and, if desired, faith-based counseling can be part of your treatment plan. This session is a chance for us to build trust, answer any questions you have, and begin shaping a personalized plan that supports your mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Most of all, you’ll be heard, respected, and supported every step of the way.
Strengths
I blend evidence-based psychiatric care with integrative and faith-informed practices to treat the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. I bring more than 20 years of clinical experience, specialized training in child and adolescent mental health, women’s issues, and medication management, along with a deep respect for each client’s unique values and beliefs. This allows me to create truly personalized treatment plans that not only address symptoms but also foster lasting healing and growth. Clients often tell me they appreciate my compassionate, collaborative style and how safe and supported they feel exploring their mental health. My ability to integrate these elements thoughtfully helps me guide clients toward meaningful, sustainable change.
Ideal clients
I’m best positioned to serve individuals seeking a compassionate, holistic approach to mental health. I specialize in child and adolescent mental health, women’s issues, medication management, and integrative psychiatry. My approach blends traditional psychiatric treatments with lifestyle interventions, nutrition, mindfulness, and, when appropriate, spiritual support to address the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. I work with clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions who are not only seeking symptom relief but also deeper healing and long-term wellness. Whether you're a parent seeking care for your child, a woman navigating complex emotional challenges, or someone interested in a more personalized and integrative path to mental health, I’m here to support you.
Treatment methods
Christian Counseling
I have experience integrating Christian counseling into psychiatric care through formal training and years of practice with clients who seek faith-based support. I incorporate elements like prayer, Scripture, and spiritual discussions when it aligns with a client’s goals and values. This approach is always used in combination with evidence-based treatments such as traditional talk therapy and medication management. I prioritize client autonomy and tailor care to respect individual beliefs, ensuring a holistic approach to mental health.
Integrative
I take an integrative psychiatry approach, combining traditional treatments like medication and therapy with complementary methods such as nutrition, lifestyle changes, mindfulness, and, when appropriate, spiritual support. I focus on treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—rather than just managing symptoms. Each treatment plan is personalized, and I work closely with clients to find what best supports their overall well-being. This approach allows for a more holistic and collaborative healing process.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Driven by a commitment to evidence-based, compassionate care, I specialize in the integration of psychotherapy and psychopharmacology. My clinical approach is grounded in the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) framework, where I partner with patients to identify the connections between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By blending diagnostic precision with a holistic understanding of the bio-psycho-social factors at play, I empower individuals to challenge cognitive distortions and develop practical tools for long-term resilience. My goal is to provide a collaborative space where patients feel heard, supported, and equipped to achieve mental wellness.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
My experience with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) spans several years of integrating its core modules—mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness—into clinical practice to help clients navigate intense emotional dysregulation and complex behavioral patterns. My approach is rooted in the foundational DBT philosophy of balancing radical acceptance with active, behavioral change. By fostering a validating, collaborative therapeutic environment, I empower individuals to accept their current reality while simultaneously building concrete, practical skills to build a life that feels deeply meaningful and worth living.
