“Kerry Ann is patient and very thorough with her work. I always appreciate her explanations of each medication that she prescribes and feel safe that I'm in the best hands. Her amazing bedside manner is a fantastic bonus and I'm never rushed off which I tended to be with previous doctors. I'll continue to see her for my health needs!”

Getting to know Kerry Ann Smith
Kerry-Ann Smith, PMHNP-BC, is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner providing compassionate, patient-centered care for adults. She specializes in medication management and supportive treatment for anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood-related concerns, with a focus on women’s mental health.
At Serene Journey Wellness, Kerry-Ann takes a collaborative, patient-centered approach, helping patients feel heard, supported, and actively involved in their treatment decisions
What should a new client know about working with you?
Care at Serene Journey Wellness is grounded in a patient-centered approach that recognizes the connection between emotional health, life experiences, and nervous system regulation. Treatment focuses on thoughtful medication management combined with education, emotional insight, and practical coping strategies.
Patients are active partners in their care. Appointments are collaborative, unrushed, and tailored to each individual’s goals, values, and life circumstances. The focus is on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered to make informed treatment decisions.
The goal of care is long-term stability, emotional balance, and improved quality of life—not quick fixes.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Initial appointments focus on understanding the whole picture, including current concerns, symptoms, medical and mental health history, and treatment goals. Time is spent discussing diagnosis, medication options, and answering questions so patients can make informed decisions.
Follow-up visits focus on monitoring symptoms, medication effectiveness, side effects, and overall progress. Supportive guidance and brief therapeutic discussion are incorporated as appropriate, though ongoing psychotherapy may be recommended when indicated.
Care is collaborative, structured, and paced to support safety, clarity, and long-term stability.

Ima be very honestly I was a little hesitant to seek treatment at 1st. But after sitting with Kerry-Ann i’m so happy i decided to book. She helped work through a lot of issues without feeling ashamed and judged. I highly recommend her. She’s fantastic and a great listener.

Kerry-ann was very professional. She was able to evaluate me in a very thorough manner and even helped me indentify certain behaviors that I thought was ADHD but was also a sign of anxiety which honestly made more sense. She actually listened and helped explain anything I myself didn't understand as a 1st time patient seeking treatment. I felt very comfortable with her as I was already anxious since ive never gotten treatment before! I'm very happy with the appt and how it went. I really recommend her.
