Getting to know Kimberli Matthews
Kimberli Matthews, PMHNP-BC
Veteran | Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
Most of the people I work with look like they’re managing. Inside, their thoughts are nonstop, focus slips, sleep is off, or their mood feels heavier than it should. ADHD, anxiety, PTSD, and low mood can quietly wear you down, making daily life feel harder than it needs to be. That’s not a lack of effort — it’s a nervous system under strain. When your brain feels overloaded or stuck, pushing harder rarely works. Understanding what’s happening and having a clear, steady plan does.
I provide virtual psychiatric care across Tennessee for ADHD, anxiety, PTSD, and mood concerns. Treatment is practical and structured, focused on improving focus, stabilizing mood, calming the stress response, and creating realistic progress. Medication management is thoughtful and tailored to what truly helps you function better day to day.
As a Veteran and board-certified PMHNP, I value direct communication, steadiness, and follow-through. You’ll understand your options and leave with a clear plan. The goal is simple: less overwhelm, more stability, and a stronger sense of control and well-being.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When we work together, you can expect a direct, practical, and supportive approach tailored to your unique needs. I focus on clear communication and achievable goals so you can start noticing meaningful progress early in treatment.
Whether through medication management, therapy, or both, I use evidence-based strategies to provide real-time relief from your most challenging symptoms while helping you build long-term emotional resilience.
You’ll leave each session with practical tools you can use immediately to feel calmer, more confident, and in control of your daily life.
My approach is responsive, effective, and grounded in respect. I honor your pace, goals, and lived experience, walking beside you every step of the way.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
We begin with an open, honest, and confidential conversation to fully understand your specific symptoms, experiences, and goals. From this foundation, we collaboratively create a personalized, evidence-based treatment plan designed to provide real-time relief.
My approach is practical, focusing on the safest and most effective path for you, whether that involves expert medication management, therapeutic strategies, or a combination of both. You will receive immediate tools to ease distress and improve daily functioning.
We maintain consistent check-ins to track progress and fine-tune your plan, ensuring your care is always relevant and effective. My top priority is helping you feel like yourself again—quickly, safely, and sustainably.
For your convenience, I offer flexible telehealth appointments, including evening and weekend hours, designed to fit seamlessly into your schedule and lifestyle.
