Medie Parrott
I am a Filipina immigrant and dual-certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, with experience caring for children, adolescents, and adults across a wide spectrum of mental health and developmental needs. My practice is grounded in cultural curiosity and humility, trauma-informed care, and deep respect for the histories, communities, and lived experiences that shape each person’s healing journey. I work with individuals across the lifespan, including those navigating ADHD, autism, sensory differences, complex trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, psychosis, addiction, and major life transitions. I have a special interest in supporting neurodivergent children, teens, and adults—particularly those whose strengths may have been overlooked or whose differences have been misunderstood within traditional systems of care. My goal is not to “normalize” who you are, but to help you better understand your brain, your nervous system, your relationships, and the environments in which you thrive. My clinical work spans from supporting children and families navigating developmental, behavioral, and emotional challenges to caring for adults living with complex psychiatric conditions, trauma, and substance use disorders. While my foundation is in evidence-based psychiatric assessment, medication management, and psychotherapy, I also believe that healing extends beyond prescriptions. Sleep, nutrition, movement, relationships, purpose, sensory regulation, and connection to community all play essential roles in long-term wellbeing.
While my foundation is in conventional medication management and psychotherapy, I am a firm believer in lifestyle coaching and integrative health.
Although I do not prescribe ketamine or buprenorphine through this platform, my advanced training in addiction medicine, trauma treatment, and psychedelic-assisted therapies allows me to bring a broader, integrative perspective when helping patients navigate complex mental health challenges. My goal is to walk alongside my patients as a collaborative partner—helping them better understand their nervous system, their story, and their strengths, while building sustainable pathways toward healing, resilience, and a more meaningful life.
First session
Our initial session is dedicated to understanding the full picture of your health and aspirations. We begin by discussing your immediate goals and current challenges, while also identifying the unique strengths and resources you already possess to build resilience. To provide truly integrative care, I perform a "root-cause" exploration. This includes a detailed health history from birth to the present, covering sleep, nutrition, exercise, and your connection to people and purpose. We will also discuss your exposure to trauma, substances, or environmental toxins, alongside your family history and any existing healing practices. How to Prepare: To maximize our time together, please complete and submit your intake forms at least one week prior to our appointment. If available, please bring or upload: --Recent pertinent lab results. --A current list of medications and supplements (including dosages). --Names and addresses of current/previous providers and your preferred pharmacy. --Dates and facility names for any past psychiatric hospitalizations. Our initial session will be 55 minutes, with follow-up visits lasting 25 minutes. I’ll do my best to honor your pace and prioritize what feels most important to you during each visit. Evaluating more complex conditions may require multiple sessions, particularly when laboratory testing, outside medical records, or additional information are needed to develop a comprehensive understanding of your concerns and guide your care.
Strengths
I am committed to actively listening and co-creating care plans with my patients. I believe that your expertise in your own life is just as vital as my clinical knowledge. Together, we will develop a treatment plan that moves at your pace and in your chosen direction. We measure success not just through clinical markers, but by your personal satisfaction and overall sense of wellbeing. My practice is firmly rooted in the latest neurobiological science and clinical experience, while always holding a deep respect for your unique cultural beliefs and healing practices
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with individuals and families who are curious about themselves and willing to engage in the sometimes challenging but rewarding work of making meaningful, lasting changes in their health and well-being. My ideal patients want to better understand what shapes their thoughts, emotions, and patterns of behavior, how these patterns influence their health and relationships, and what might be possible when they begin to shift. You may be just starting to ask these questions, or you may have been exploring them for decades. Either way, I am happy to meet you where you are and partner with you at a pace that feels right for you. I value curiosity, openness, and a willingness to explore—not perfection or having all the answers. My approach is collaborative and goes beyond symptom management. While medication can be an important and effective part of treatment, I am best suited to patients who are interested in exploring underlying contributors to their difficulties and considering changes beyond medication alone. If you are looking exclusively for medication to relieve symptoms without engaging in a broader process of understanding and change, my practice may not be the best fit for your needs.
Treatment methods
Eclectic
I take a whole-person approach to mental health, integrating psychotherapy, therapeutic coaching, metabolic and nutritional psychiatry, lifestyle interventions, appropriate laboratory evaluation, and medication management when indicated. Together, we develop a treatment plan that aligns with your symptoms, goals, values, and preferences.
