Thank you for considering! My name is Brennan and I am a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I am a psychiatric provider specializing in medication management and add-on therapy for common psychiatric disorders like anxiety, depression, panic, PTSD (and complex PTSD), ADHD, Autism, Eating disorders, and many more. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, while also specializing in LGBTQIA+ issues, polyamory, ENM, and am kink-affirming.
My experience includes working in outpatient psychiatry settings, where I provide therapy and medication management. I've had the pleasure of working with diverse populations in various states, including Ohio, Colorado, New York, Kansas, and West Virginia.
Currently, I am the owner and sole provider of Sana Mente Behavioral Health LLC, an outpatient tele-health psychiatry practice. My mission is to provide compassionate, patient-focused care and to ensure each individual receives the personalized attention they deserve.
With being a psychiatric professional since 2018 as a bedside nurse and Prescriber, I bring both clinical expertise and a focus on systemic improvement to my practice. My goal is to assist you in reaching your goals, not telling you what to do. My focus is breaking the sterotype of psychiatry and treating every person with respect and compassion, working with you on your individual treatment goals.
I'm committed to supporting your mental health journey with empathy and professionalism.
Treatment philosophy:
Sana Mente Behavioral Health LLC provides inclusive, kink-affirming, and trauma-informed outpatient psychiatry, emphasizing holistic care that integrates therapy with medication support. The practice prioritizes individualized treatment plans that respect cultural, sexual, and identity diversity, with a focus on addressing underlying trauma rather than solely managing symptoms. Therapy is the cornerstone of treatment, while medication is used thoughtfully and minimally. Through trauma-focused and affirmative therapies, combined with collaborative care, Sana Mente empowers patients to heal and thrive, promoting mental and emotional well-being with a strength-based approach.

Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?
I became a therapist to help individuals navigate their mental health struggles and achieve lasting wellness. I am motivated by the positive impact I see in my clients’ lives when they make progress. Their resilience and transformation inspire me to continue providing compassionate care.
For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?
Therapy is a safe space where you are free to express yourself without judgment. It is an opportunity for healing, personal growth, and gaining tools to manage life's challenges. Taking that first step may seem daunting, but it can lead to profound changes in your emotional and mental health.
What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?
I am a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of experience. I take a holistic, compassionate approach to mental health care, focusing on individualized treatment plans to address both emotional and physical well-being. My goal is to empower clients to take control of their mental health.
How can you provide care remotely?
I offer remote care through telemedicine services, allowing clients to receive therapy and medication management from the comfort of their homes. Sessions are conducted via secure video platforms, ensuring privacy and accessibility for clients of all ages.
