Charissa Turner

Hi, I’m Charissa, a double board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and family nurse practitioner with 15 years of nursing experience. I provide care to clients across Arizona and Massachusetts, specializing in anxiety, ADHD, college and graduate student health, and depression. My master’s degree and psychiatric training were completed at the University of Cincinnati, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based mental health care.

Trained as a psych NP, I’m a generalist with experience treating a wide range of mental health conditions.

My approach emphasizes collaboration and partnership with my patients. I believe strongly in patient-centered care, where individuals are actively involved in every aspect of their treatment journey. This includes collaboratively selecting therapy modalities and medication options that best suit their unique needs and preferences. While I offer expert guidance and necessary suggestions, I refrain from a directive approach. Instead, I strive to create a safe and supportive space where we work together to develop a treatment plan that empowers patients to take ownership of their mental health and achieve their therapeutic goals.
