Accepting Clients

Hello. I am Sommer Perkins, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

Mental Health Practitioner in Denver, CO

About My Clients

My ideal client is someone who wants to prioritize their mental health & actively participate in making the necessary changes to achieve a healthy life.

My Background and Approach

My approach to mental health medication management is rooted in collaboration and respect for your autonomy. I firmly believe that medications are not always the answer. If necessary and beneficial, I prefer a "low and slow" prescription method, making adjustments only with your full agreement. I take great pleasure in empowering my clients to advocate for their well-being. As your practitioner, I strongly advocate for a holistic approach that combines therapy with the proper medications and dosages. My career journey has been fueled by a deep empathy and understanding for those struggling with mental health concerns. My passion for mental health was ignited during my tenure as a registered nurse on a medical-surgical unit, where I witnessed firsthand the profound impact that mental health issues can have on our thoughts, actions, interactions, and physical well-being.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

It is my conviction that each individual possesses a degree of self-awareness that, when accessed, can provide significant support, particularly in addressing mental health challenges. I hold human connection, empathy, and authenticity in high regard. I cherish my clients and consider them an integral part of my extended family. Clients often express their frustration about not feeling acknowledged. Creating a supportive environment is crucial in our interactions, and I consider it a privilege when individuals seek my assistance for their mental health needs.
