About
our practice
At Pax Mentis PLLC, our mission is to provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care that supports healing, growth, and peace of mind. We believe that mental health is an essential foundation for living with balance and fulfillment, and we are committed to guiding each individual toward greater well-being.
The name Pax Mentis derives from Latin, meaning “peace of mind.” It reflects both our philosophy and our purpose: to help restore calm, clarity, and resilience for those navigating life’s challenges. Just as peace of mind is not the absence of difficulties but the presence of stability and strength, our practice strives to create a supportive space where individuals feel understood, empowered, and equipped to thrive.
Whether addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health concerns, we partner with you to find a path forward. Through personalized treatment, open collaboration, and a focus on the whole person, Pax Mentis seeks to honor the meaning behind its name—bringing peace of mind to the individuals and families we serve.
“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
— Viktor Frankl
Meet the Team
At Pax Mentis, our psychiatric nurse practitioners combine clinical expertise with a calm, compassionate approach—so you feel heard, understood, and supported from the very first visit.
What to Expect
Thoughtful intake: a detailed first visit to understand your history, goals, and preferences. Intake appointments are at least sixty minutes.
Personalized plan: evidence-based options explained in plain language.
Coordinated care: we collaborate with your therapist and primary care provider (with your permission).
Follow-ups: we do not ascribe to the 15 minute “med check” follow-up; patients can expect 30 minute follow-ups that prioritizes the therapeutic alliance and devotes sufficient time for patient complexity
