Are you a high-achieving professional who feels overwhelmed, burned out, or not quite like yourself lately even though you’re still getting everything done? Hi, I’m Dr. Danae Thomas, a psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 20 years of experience in nursing and a deep passion for mental wellness. I help adults feel lighter, calmer, and more connected to themselves. I blend clinical expertise with a down-to-earth, human approach offering both medication management and therapy through an integrative psychiatry lens to support high-functioning professionals navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, and depression. Please note, I do not prescribe stimulant medications for ADHD; however, I offer alternative, evidence-based treatment options tailored to your needs. I’m here to help you feel like you again. Book your session today!
In our first session, we’ll slow things down. You’ll share your story at your own pace, and I’ll listen without judgment. We’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, talk about your goals, and start building a plan that feels realistic and empowering whether that includes therapy, medication, or both. You’ll leave feeling heard, supported, and hopeful
What sets me apart is my integrative, whole-person approach. I look beyond symptoms to understand the root causes blending modern psychiatry with a warm, relatable style. My clients appreciate my honesty, cultural awareness, and how I make mental health care feel less intimidating. I help people gain real insight, find relief, and build confidence in their healing journey.
My ideal client is a high-functioning adult professional who is motivated for change but feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, insomnia, or burnout. They are often navigating demanding careers, major life transitions, or balancing multiple responsibilities, and want to feel more in control, focused, and emotionally well. These clients are generally stable and appropriate for outpatient care, open to both medication management and therapy, and genuinely engaged in the process.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
In my solution-focused group sessions, I help patients tap into their inner strengths and focus on what’s working—rather than what's wrong. With a forward-looking, goal-oriented approach, group members learn to identify small, achievable steps toward their desired future, gaining confidence and motivation through shared insights and peer encouragement.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has been a powerful tool in my practice, helping patients recognize and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns in a supportive setting. I guide participants through evidence-based strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, using structured sessions that promote lasting change through thought awareness and behavior shifts.
