– Dawn Grist, PMHNP-BC
I believe in empowering patients and families through active participation in treatment. We’ll work together to create a plan that’s tailored to your goals, whether it’s managing symptoms at home, school, or work. With my background in Elementary Education and experience in diverse settings like residential care, inpatient units, and community mental health, I bring a deep understanding of how mental health intersects with everyday life—especially for younger patients.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can stem from traumatic experiences and affect daily life long-term, but with the right support, recovery is possible. Symptoms like anxiety, mood changes, or behavioral challenges in children can overlap with other diagnoses, such as ADHD or Autism. I specialize in addressing these complexities to restore stability.
Here’s what I offer:
- Psychiatric evaluations
- Medication management
- Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy for depression, anxiety, and OCD
- Referrals and support for additional modalities, such as individual/group therapy, neurological assessments, and academic support (e.g., Individual Education Plans)
Compassionate, Personalized Care
My passion is offering your child (and you) a safe place to explore what symptoms might be negatively affecting their life, personally, academically and professionally, and to help with solutions centered around their specific needs and goals with involvement from you as the parent.
Treating mental health requires looking at the patient as a whole. My personal practice developed with a focus mainly on medication management and TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) therapy for depression/anxiety and/or OCD. I also am dedicated to helping patients meet their needs utilizing modalities outside of Resonance Mental Health’s treatment options including fostering individual/group therapy connections, neurological assessments, and academic support such as individual education plans, etc. Whatever your concerns are, I will help you address them with our internal or external resources. I go above and beyond to assure your mental health finds stability once again.
Although I focus on children, I am passionate about helping adults meet their goals in exactly the same way as I do for children. My experience over the years has been with a broad range of ages and diagnoses. I am dedicated to meeting anyone at their current level and working towards your identified goals.
