Getting to know Amanda Taylor
Hi, I'm Amanda, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and proud Army veteran based in Colorado. With over six years of experience in psychiatric nursing, I’ve had the opportunity to work across a range of settings, from inpatient and outpatient care to emergency psychiatry and community mental health. These experiences have shaped the way I practice today: grounded, practical, and deeply committed to meeting people where they are.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Saint Martin’s University in Washington and completed my Master of Science in Nursing at the University of Missouri. I have a strong background working with veterans and their families and continue to be passionate about serving those who’ve served.
My approach to care is holistic and collaborative. I believe in combining evidence-based treatments with genuine curiosity and compassion. I take time to understand your full story, including your personal history, lifestyle, relationships, and goals. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, I work with you to create a plan that feels right for your life.
I care deeply about making mental health care accessible and supportive. Whether I'm working with individuals, families, or entire communities, my focus is on empowering people with the tools, information, and support they need to feel better and stay well.
Outside of work, you’ll find me on the hiking trails, reading a good book, or spending time with my family. I feel most at home in nature and believe in the power of simple, grounding routines to support mental wellness.
What should a new client know about working with you?
In sessions with me, you can expect a down-to-earth and supportive approach. We’ll take time to understand what’s going on now and look at the bigger picture, including what might be contributing beneath the surface. My goal is to create a space that feels safe, supportive, and judgment-free, so you can explore what’s weighing on you and start building a path forward. Together, we’ll work toward not just feeling better, but feeling stronger, more balanced, and more like yourself!
What is your typical process for working with clients?
During your initial 60-minute appointment, we’ll meet to embark on a thorough evaluation. Together, we'll delve into your current symptoms, lifestyle, social factors, personal history, and medical conditions. We firmly believe that a comprehensive assessment is essential to tailor treatment recommendations to your unique needs. Please anticipate that multiple visits may be needed to complete this evaluation and before prescribing medication. We also may recommend laboratory testing, as various biological factors could contribute to your symptoms.
Initially, we'll schedule frequent sessions, every 1-4 weeks, enabling me to gain deeper insights into you as a person and your overall health. This approach also allows us to conduct a thorough evaluation and craft a personalized, detailed care plan tailored to your needs. As your treatment advances and you start noticing positive changes, we'll adjust the frequency of sessions accordingly.
