Getting to know Brittany Pollard
Welcome! I am, Brittany Pollard, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care for adolescents and adults. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing–Family Nurse Practitioner degree from the University of Cincinnati in 2019 and completed the Post-Master’s Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Certificate program through Liberty University in 2024.
I treat a wide range of mental health conditions, with particular experience in ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, sleep disorders, and trauma. With backgrounds in both primary care and psychiatry, I take a holistic approach that recognizes the strong connection between physical and mental health.
My treatment philosophy is warm, collaborative, and solution-focused. I believe that effective care begins with a strong therapeutic relationship where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to take an active role in their treatment. I provide individualized care tailored to each client’s unique symptoms, goals, lifestyle, and personal experiences.
I also utilize evidence-based approaches including motivational interviewing, interpersonal therapy techniques, and person-centered therapy to support clients in building insight, improving coping skills, and creating meaningful change. Treatment may include psychiatric evaluation, medication management, supportive therapy, education, and practical strategies to improve overall well-being and daily functioning.
My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable discussing their concerns and confident in the treatment process. I am passionate about helping clients achieve lasting improvements in their mental health, emotional wellness, and quality of life.
What should a new client know about working with you?
New clients should know that I strive to create a welcoming, supportive, and judgment-free environment where they feel comfortable being themselves. I understand that seeking mental health treatment can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to help clients feel heard, respected, and supported from the very first appointment.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and solution-focused. I believe clients should play an active role in their treatment, and I work closely with each person to develop an individualized plan that aligns with their goals, preferences, and needs. I take time to understand not only symptoms, but also life experiences, stressors, relationships, physical health, strengths, and personal goals that may impact overall well-being.
I work with adolescents and adults experiencing a variety of mental health concerns, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, and trauma. I use evidence-based approaches such as motivational interviewing, person-centered therapy, and interpersonal techniques to help clients gain insight, improve coping skills, strengthen motivation for change, and build healthier patterns in daily life.
Clients can expect open communication, compassion, and practical support throughout treatment. Whether discussing medication options, coping strategies, or lifestyle factors affecting mental health, I aim to ensure clients feel informed, empowered, and actively involved in their care. My goal is for each client to leave sessions with greater clarity, hope, and confidence in their ability to move forward.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
The first appointment focuses on developing a comprehensive understanding of the client’s concerns, symptoms, medical and mental health history, current stressors, lifestyle factors, and treatment goals. I take time to explore what clients are experiencing, how symptoms affect daily functioning, and any previous treatment experiences, including medications or therapy that may or may not have been helpful.
I provide psychiatric evaluations for adolescents and adults and work collaboratively with clients to create individualized treatment plans based on their unique needs and goals. Treatment may include medication management, supportive therapy, education, coping strategies, and recommendations for additional therapeutic support when appropriate.
My approach integrates medication management with therapeutic techniques including motivational interviewing, person-centered therapy, and interpersonal approaches. Sessions are conversational, supportive, and focused on helping clients better understand their symptoms, identify barriers to wellness, and develop practical strategies for improvement.
Follow-up appointments focus on monitoring symptoms, evaluating progress, adjusting medications when needed, discussing side effects or concerns, and continuing to build coping skills and emotional resilience. I believe treatment works best when clients feel actively involved in the process, so I encourage open communication and shared decision-making throughout care.
My goal is to help clients feel understood, supported, and empowered while working toward improved mental health, functioning, and overall quality of life.
