Our Psychiatry Providers
Dr. Jennifer Sam
DNP, PMHNP-BC
I specialize in children and teen psychiatry of 12-19 high school students and adults.
I provide medication treatment plans for anxiety, depression, heightened social anxiety, ADHD, and trauma.
As a mother of high school teenagers myself, I don't believe that our children need to be overmedicated which is what unfortunately happens when worried parents rush to the doctor and only receive a bottle of pills. Our kids need a detailed psychological evaluation, a treatment plan and then consistent careful monitoring, not just pills.
In our first 60 minute session with your child, I will dig deep to discover how I can help them. My subsequent follow-up sessions with your child will not be a 5 minute chat to get him a prescription refill but 20-30 minutes sessions to really understand how they are interacting with medications and to make any adjustments as needed.
Darla Dane
PMHNP-BC
I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with several years of experience helping adults manage challenges such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, insomnia, and trauma-related concerns.
My style is collaborative and straightforward: I believe in providing comprehensive, quality care while building a strong, supportive therapeutic relationship with each person I work with.
No two people are the same, and your treatment shouldn’t be either. I’ll work with you to create a personalized care plan that fits your needs and goals. I use evidence-based practices and my clinical experience to guide treatment, which may include therapy strategies, lifestyle support, and, when appropriate, medication management.
I like to break big goals into smaller, manageable steps, focusing first on what matters most to you. While I provide guidance and medical expertise, I believe treatment is a partnership—you set the priorities, and together we work toward progress that feels achievable and sustainable.
