Getting to know Douglas Nyenke
I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (MSN, PMHNP-BC, FPA) with over 20 years of experience. I specialize in treating children, adolescents, and adults with complex conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. My approach combines evidence-based medication management with personalized, compassionate care. I focus on helping patients achieve real, lasting improvements in daily functioning and quality of life.
What should a new client know about working with you?
New clients should know that I am committed to creating a warm, compassionate, and supportive environment where they feel heard and understood. My approach is collaborative and holistic, focusing on addressing not only mental health symptoms but also the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of well-being. I prioritize building trust and work closely with each client to develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with their unique needs and goals. Whether through medication management, supportive therapy, or coordinating care with other providers, I strive to ensure clients receive comprehensive, exceptional care throughout their journey.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In a typical session, I start by creating a welcoming and non-judgmental environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their concerns. My process begins with a comprehensive assessment to fully understand each client’s mental, physical, and emotional well-being. During our initial session, I focus on gathering a detailed history, including current symptoms, past medical and psychiatric history, and relevant social and family dynamics.
From there, we collaboratively establish a tailored treatment plan that may involve medication management, supportive therapy, and other integrative approaches to address the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. I believe in a team-based approach, which means I will also coordinate care with other healthcare providers and involve family members when appropriate to ensure a cohesive and effective plan. Each follow-up session is structured to assess progress, refine treatment strategies, and provide supportive therapy to help clients achieve their mental health goals.

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $350 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $200 for 30 minutes
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
More information on payments and coverage
I am currently in-network with BCBS, Cigna, Aetna, BCBS Community, Tricare, Oscar, Molina, CountyCare, United Health, Magellan, and Meridian. I handle billing directly with your insurance provider, so there’s no need to worry about the paperwork. The insurance company will pay me according to my contracted rates, and you are only responsible for any copay or deductible that may apply based on your specific plan. If you have any questions regarding coverage or need assistance navigating your benefits, I’m happy to help ensure you understand your options.

My visit with Dr. Douglas was a truly meaningful and affirming experience. From the very beginning, he created a safe, welcoming space where I felt seen, heard, and respected—not just as a patient, but as a whole person on a healing journey. His presence was calm, compassionate, and deeply intentional.
This was more than just a clinical appointment—it was a pivotal step in my recovery, and I genuinely felt that Dr. Douglas is in this work because he truly cares about people individually. His ability to listen without judgment and respond with care made me feel supported, valued, and hopeful about the path ahead.
I’m grateful for this beginning and look forward to the continued work and breakthroughs ahead. Thank you, Dr. Douglas, for showing up fully and reminding me that healing is possible, one honest moment at a time.

Very attentive to the symptoms that we discussed, and clearly able to assess and provide validation of diagnoses as well as a thorough plan of care and treatment recommendations. My daughter really liked that he was personable and friendly and asked great questions and gave her age appropriate explanations. She is excited about the changes to her current regimen and is looking forward to seeing him for her follow up visit. I definitely would recommend him as a provider.
