John Thagard

Hi, I’m John, a double board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and family nurse practitioner with 10 years of nursing experience. I provide care to clients across New Hampshire, specializing in depression, anxiety, ADHD, and life transitions. My strong foundation in evidence-based mental health care was established through my master’s degree and psychiatric training at the University of New Hampshire.

As a psych NP, my background includes treating a wide spectrum of mental health conditions, which supports a comprehensive and individualized approach to care.

I have a kind and welcoming style that will meet each client where they are without judgement. I’ll actively listen to issues and provide a realistic expectation of what therapies can be helpful and what medications can do. Together, we’ll form a plan of care that works and reevaluate that plan often to make sure it is appropriate.

• like when you don’t have to filter yourself
• want simple tools that keep you on track
• are trying to make peace with the thoughts that overwhelm you
• want to feel more grounded
• want gentle support during tough weeks
