Hi there, I’m Nasr (Nahs-er) a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Do you feel overwhelmed trying to overcome your emotions while navigating life’s ups and downs? You are not alone. Together we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. With daily practice and self-understanding, a calmer more fulfilling life is possible. While medication management is my primary focus, I view medication as a means to achieve the stability needed to attain your goals. I offer psychiatric evaluations and medication management services to individuals 14 and older in a non-judgmental and safe therapeutic space. If medication is right for you, together we can develop a tailored treatment plan that will help you set and reach your treatment goals. My practice fosters a collaborative environment with other providers to offer whole person centered care. If you are interested in learning more about my services or are ready to start your journey to healing and wellness schedule your appointment today.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During your first session with me, you can expect a warm, supportive, and structured conversation focused on understanding your concerns and goals. I’ll begin by learning about what brought you in, your symptoms, medical and mental-health history, and any stressors impacting your daily life. This is also your opportunity to share what you’re hoping to change or improve. Together, we’ll clarify your priorities, identify immediate needs, and discuss potential treatment approaches. If medication is appropriate, we’ll review options in clear, understandable terms so you feel empowered. Not pressured; to make informed decisions. I also integrate supportive psychotherapy from the very first visit to help you feel heard, validated, and grounded. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clear plan for next steps, whether that includes ongoing medication management, therapy recommendations, lifestyle strategies, or collaborative goals we’ll continue to build on. My aim is for you to leave feeling understood, respected, and hopeful about your path forward.

I've been seeing Dr. Nasr Basir Balla for a while now and every experience has been positive. I am not always the most comfortable in settings like this, so I admit it took me a while to feel more relaxed, but she has made it a space where the focus is on me and keeping me informed and in control of my own options. I don't feel like I am being talked at. She emphasizes doing things in a way that is safe and comfortable for me. I am glad to have found her.

I have been coming to her for about three years now, and absolutely love it. She’s very down to earth, friendly, and listens to you. She works with you to make sure you have the best plan of action and is always there to help! Also communication is excellent, when you send a message, you will get a reply within 24 hours which I have never had another doctor duplicate so very thankful to have her helping me out.

Dr. Balla made me feel comfortable on our initial appointment. She actively listen and was not judgemental during our discussion. I appreciate her genuine concern for my mental wellbeing. She did not rush me during the appointment; my dedication time was used appropriately. She also took her time to explain the results of the assessments I took. Highly recommend for anyone going through a difficult time with mental health to talk to Dr. Balla; she will point you to the right direction for care.
