Dreama Shuler
Hi, I’m Dreama Shuler, DNP, PMHNP-BC. I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner who believes that patients should be supported, educated, and empowered to take control of their mental well-being. I help high-functioning adults struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, and those navigating major life transitions (illness, leaving home for school, etc). I also support caregivers of loved ones with chronic illness or Alzheimer's to foster healthy coping strategies to relieve stress and find emotional balance.
My journey into psychiatry was not a straight path—I was drawn to it through life experiences and a deep desire to provide more meaningful, patient-centered care.
With over 14+ years of healthcare experience, specializing in mental health care, my goal is not just to provide solutions, but to equip you with the tools and knowledge to build lasting resilience and self-efficacy. My journey into psychiatry was not a straight path—I was drawn to it through life experiences and a deep desire to provide more meaningful, patient-centered care. After years of working in mental health hospitals and outpatient settings, I saw firsthand how rushed, one-size-fits-all approaches left patients feeling unheard and unfulfilled. That’s why I started my own practice—to create a space where you feel truly seen, supported, and actively involved in your healing. I help my patients find balance, clarity, and confidence in their everyday lives.
First session
A 60-minute comprehensive evaluation to understand your mental health history, symptoms, and goals. This session will include diagnosis, treatment planning, medication recommendations (if applicable), and a discussion of treatment options such as nutrition, mindfulness, and lifestyle changes.
Strengths
I believe that mental health treatment should go beyond just prescribing medication—it should empower you with the tools, knowledge, and support to take control of your well-being. My approach blends traditional psychiatry with integrative and lifestyle-based strategies, ensuring that you receive comprehensive care tailored to your unique needs.
Ideal clients
Do you…? Constantly overthink and second-guess yourself? Feel overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in a cycle of stress and self-doubt? Struggle with focus, motivation, or completing tasks? Battle intrusive thoughts, obsessive behaviors, or the need for things to be "just right"? Feel emotionally drained from caring for a loved one with chronic illness or mental health challenges? If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself. My practice is designed to provide the support, strategies, and tools you need to take back control of your life. I take a holistic, patient-centered approach to mental health care, combining traditional psychiatry with integrative and lifestyle-based interventions. My goal is to provide you with the tools and knowledge to take control of your mental well-being, fostering long-term resilience and self-efficacy.
