Alexis Baird

Hello, nice to meet you! I’m Alexis, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with 19 years of nursing experience. I provide care to clients across Massachusetts, specializing in anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar, life transitions, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), binge eating disorder, loss, grief, and bereavement, relationship issues, sexual health & dysfunction, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), women’s issues, stress management, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and trauma. My master of science in nursing specializing in psychiatry was completed at Regis College where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based mental health care.

Trained as a psych NP, I am a generalist with experience in treating a wide range of conditions.

My approach to patient care is collaborative, patient-centered, and individualized. I take time to understand the full clinical picture, including psychiatric symptoms, medical history, sleep, lifestyle, relationships, trauma, current stressors, and other factors that may be contributing to the patient’s presentation. My background in family practice also influences how I approach psychiatric care, as I am mindful of medical conditions and physical symptoms that can overlap with or contribute to mental health concerns. My goal is to build a therapeutic relationship in which patients feel heard and respected while also providing clear clinical guidance. Ultimately, I try to meet patients where they are and develop a treatment plan that is evidence-based, realistic, and sustainable for their individual needs.
