Getting to know Dr. Keisha Stephens
*After booking, you will receive a link via IntakeQ to complete required intake forms prior to your appointment.*
Struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or feeling stuck in life can be overwhelming. It might seem like something is holding you back, no matter how hard you try. If you're navigating a difficult phase-whether you're a young adult facing major life transitions, a millennial juggling responsibilities, or someone managing co-occurring disorders-you don't have to do it alone. Finding the right mental health care is about more than just managing symptoms; it's about creating lasting change. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from Fairfield University and a Master's in Nursing from Sacred Heart University, along with seven years of experience in behavioral health, I provide compassionate, evidence-based care that helps you move forward.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Sessions are a collaborative process where your goals, strengths, and personal experiences take center stage. I incorporate CBT, aspects of DBT, and motivational interviewing to help you reframe negative thoughts, build resilience, and develop practical coping skills. Medication management is available when needed, but it's never the only focus—your treatment plan is about what works best for you. Mental health care should feel like a partnership, not just a prescription. That means exploring lifestyle factors that influence well-being and identifying small but meaningful changes that can make a big impact.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our work together will begin with a thorough psychiatric evaluation, where we'll discuss what's been weighing on you, your history, and what you hope to achieve. From there, we'll create a treatment plan that feels manageable and realistic. Each session is a safe space—free of judgment, stigma, or pressure. Whether we're addressing thought patterns that keep you stuck, finding ways to ease daily anxiety, or adjusting medication to better fit your needs, every step is taken with your comfort and progress in mind. You deserve to feel heard, supported, and empowered. Let's get started.
