Hello, I'm Ann Huynh, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner , Family Nurse Practitioner with experience in inpatient/ outpatient psychiatry, community mental health, urgent care. I specialize in treating a wide range of mental health disorders, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, sleep disorders, eating disorders, and emotional dysregulation. My approach is compassionate and integrative, combining medication management and psychotherapy, focusing on collaboration and tailored care to support your mental health and help you achieve a balanced, fulfilling life.
In the first session with me, clients can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where we’ll discuss their concerns and goals. We’ll begin with an initial assessment to better understand their mental health history, current challenges, and strengths. This helps guide the evaluation of their needs and potential treatment options. If applicable, we’ll talk about medication management, including any current medications or the possibility of exploring medication options. Additionally, we’ll start developing a therapeutic relationship, focusing on building trust and establishing a foundation for ongoing support and collaboration.
I believe my greatest strengths as a provider are my ability to create a compassionate and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and understood, my strong foundation in evidence-based practices, and my dedication to tailoring treatment to each individual’s unique needs. Long history of working with mental patients. I am also highly collaborative, working closely with clients to empower them in their healing journey while offering practical tools and ongoing support.
I prioritize understanding each patient's unique needs and tailor my treatment plans accordingly. I believe in delivering evidence-based treatments that harmoniously blend medication management with psychotherapy. My practice is inclusive, serving individuals spanning all ages—from children to seniors—all genders.
