I’m Claire Cross, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, and I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with nearly 20 years of experience in patient care. I’m passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care that is individualized to each person’s needs and goals. I have experience treating adolescents and adults with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, insomnia, substance use disorders, and co-occurring conditions. I also have extensive experience in addiction treatment and medication management. I believe effective care starts with listening and building a trusting relationship. My goal is to create a comfortable, judgment-free environment where patients feel heard, informed, and actively involved in their treatment.
