PMHNP, 3 years of experience
Hi there! I'm a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner from Johns Hopkins University and a Family Nurse Practitioner from UT Austin, a veteran USAF flight nurse, as well as an RYT-200 yoga teacher and Reiki I practitioner. My passion lies in blending conventional healthcare with Integrative and Functional psychiatric practices, infusing lifestyle modifications, functional medicine testing, herbal remedies, nutraceuticals, and mind-body modalities into my approach for deeper healing and optimal outcomes. My mission is to empower individuals grappling with mental health challenges to reclaim their mental well-being and overall health. *Please note: As a telehealth provider, I do not prescribe controlled substances such as benzodiazepines, hypnotics, or stimulants, nor do I treat psychotic disorders due to the need for closer, periodic in-person monitoring.
During our initial session, you can expect a compassionate, nonjudgmental, safe, and supportive environment. We'll delve into your concerns, goals, and medical history in depth, ensuring a comprehensive understanding. Together, we'll craft a personalized treatment plan, viewing our relationship as collaborative. I aim to empower you to make informed healthcare decisions aligned with your lifestyle and wellness objectives, fostering a sense of ownership and empowerment in your journey to mental well-being.
My strengths lie in my ability to empathize with my clients, creating a safe and supportive environment for them to express themselves openly and feel heard. My unique background in family practice, coupled with psychiatric expertise, allows me to offer a holistic approach to overall wellness, recognizing that a healthy heart is crucial for a healthy brain. Brain health = mental health. I love learning and staying updated with the latest advancements in psychiatry as well as holistic and complementary approaches. By incorporating functional and integrative medicine modalities, I strive for deeper healing of the mind-body, fostering longevity, vitality, and a better quality of life for my clients.
I specialize in treating young adults and women struggling with anxiety, panic, depression, mood disorders, alcohol and substance misuse, those in recovery who could benefit from MAT such as naltrexone, and stress-related disorders. I provide comprehensive care through psychoeducation, medication management, lifestyle medicine, talk therapy, lab testing, and complimentary and alternative medicine.
In my practice, I embrace an integrative holistic approach that encompasses all facets of mental well-being and overall health. My approach integrates medical standards of care with lifestyle modifications, functional medicine testing, herbal supplements, nutraceuticals, and mind-body modalities. I also place a strong emphasis on the power of belief, understanding that our thoughts and beliefs can profoundly impact our health outcomes. By empowering my clients to cultivate adaptive beliefs and attitudes, I aim to facilitate healing and promote overall wellness. Overall, my integrative holistic approach aims to address the whole person—body, mind, and spirit— merging conventional healthcare practices with Eastern medicine, and supporting the inherent healing capacities within each individual. Through personalized care and guidance, I support my clients in achieving optimal health and well-being. If you're seeking a compassionate and knowledgeable partner to walk with you on your journey to mental well-being, I am here to support you. Together, we'll cultivate resilience, foster harmony, and experience the light of life. Take the first step towards transformative healing and reach out to me today. Let's embark on this journey together and create positive change in your life.

Dr. Kassiah is by far the best Psychiatrist I've ever had. She takes the time to get to know you and works with you to create a tailored treatment plan. She is the first Psychiatrist who didn't just meet with me for 10-15 minutes and push pills on me. She also offers a holistic approach first before altering medication. She also integrates various therapeutic techniques to supplement medication. Overall, Dr. Kassiah is very easy to talk to, she cares, and is invested in her patients overall wellbeing. I would 100% recommend her to my friends and family!
