Hi, I’m Susannah Beier, PMHNP-C, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with additional certification in Perinatal Mental Health. I provide compassionate virtual care for adults ages 18+ experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, insomnia, and postpartum mental health concerns. My approach is personalized and collaborative, combining evidence-based medication management with supportive therapy to help clients feel heard, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting improvements in their daily lives.
Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin building a plan tailored to your needs and goals. We’ll have a supportive, judgment-free conversation about what’s been going on, how your symptoms are affecting your daily life, what treatments or coping strategies you’ve tried in the past, and what you hope to gain from care. I’ll take time to understand the full picture of your mental health, lifestyle, stressors, and strengths while answering any questions you may have along the way. Together, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan that may include medication management, therapy recommendations, lifestyle changes, or supportive strategies to help you feel more balanced, supported, and empowered moving forward.
Clients often describe my approach as compassionate, collaborative, approachable, and honest. I believe effective mental health care should feel personalized, supportive, and grounded in real-life understanding—not rushed or one-size-fits-all. I combine evidence-based medication management with supportive therapy and psychoeducation, helping clients better understand their symptoms, treatment options, and patterns so they can feel more confident and involved in their care. I’m especially passionate about working with individuals who may have felt unheard, misunderstood, or discouraged by previous treatment experiences. My goal is to create a space where clients feel comfortable being open while also receiving practical guidance, clear communication, and thoughtful treatment recommendations tailored to their unique needs and goals. I value long-term therapeutic relationships and strive to help clients build resilience, insight, and meaningful progress over time.
I work with adults ages 18+ experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, insomnia, adjustment disorders, prolonged grief, and other mood-related conditions. I also have specialized training in Perinatal Mental Health and enjoy supporting individuals navigating pregnancy, postpartum challenges, infertility, identity shifts, and the emotional demands of parenthood. My approach is best suited for clients looking for collaborative, evidence-based care that combines medication management with supportive therapy and practical coping strategies. I value open communication and believe clients should feel informed, involved, and empowered throughout treatment. I also work closely with therapists and other providers when appropriate to help create a well-rounded and supportive treatment experience. I strive to provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable being honest about their struggles, whether they are navigating everyday stressors, major life transitions, relationship difficulties, emotional regulation challenges, or more severe mental health symptoms. Please note at this time, I do not prescribe controlled substances outside of Florida, Maryland, Washington, or California.

I include supportive therapy as part of my approach to treatment because it provides clients with a safe, empathetic, and nonjudgmental space to express their thoughts and emotions. Supportive therapy is beneficial as it helps clients build resilience, develop healthier coping strategies, and improve emotional regulation. It reinforces self-efficacy and personal strengths, which is especially important for those experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, and major life transitions. By integrating validation, encouragement, and practical problem-solving techniques, supportive therapy fosters a sense of stability and empowerment. When combined with medication management, it allows for a holistic and client-centered treatment plan that promotes long-term mental well-being.
Psychoeducation is a foundational part of my treatment approach. I use it to help clients better understand their diagnoses, medications, and the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. In our sessions, I provide clear, supportive information tailored to each individual’s needs, empowering them to make informed decisions, recognize patterns, and actively participate in their recovery process. I believe that when clients understand why something is happening, they’re better equipped to manage it.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach I often use to help clients explore their ambivalence and strengthen their motivation for change. In my practice, I use this method to support clients who may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about taking the next steps in their mental health journey. By creating a nonjudgmental space and asking open-ended questions, I help clients clarify their values, identify barriers, and build confidence in their ability to make meaningful, lasting changes.

My first intake with Susannah was amazing. I feel 10x more confident in my future and the plans we made together. She was warm, understanding, great at listening, and helped figure out a plan that will help me. I actually look forward to speaking to her again.
