Getting to know Nathaniel Smithson
I am a board-certified Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I work with teens and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and other mental health conditions.
I believe strongly in inclusivity and providing a space where every client can feel understood, respected, and empowered. I want clients to feel comfortable being themselves, asking questions, and taking an active role in their treatment. I believe mental health care works best when clients feel ownership over their progress and when the provider offers structure, education, and support rooted in evidence-based guidelines.
The first session with a new client is thorough but conversational. I take time to learn your story, review your medical history, and understand your current concerns. We’ll go over past and current medications—what worked, what didn’t, and what side effects you’ve experienced—so we can make informed decisions moving forward. I’ll also explore your goals, daily functioning, and what “feeling better” would realistically look like for you.

I’ve had a great experience with this outpatient psychiatric provider. They really listen, explain options clearly, and genuinely care about my progress. I feel heard and supported at each appointment and have noticed real improvement. Highly recommend.

Don’t hesitate. This is the provider you’ve been looking for.
I spent YEARS searching for a provider who truly cared—someone who would listen to what I was experiencing and create a treatment plan tailored to me, not simply cycle through medications. When I came to Nate, I was in an incredibly dark place mentally and desperate for real help. He listened with genuine care, asked thoughtful questions, and approached my treatment with respect and clarity—offering a long-term plan. By the end of our first visit, I was crying tears of relief and exhaustion—because for the first time, I felt understood and supported. There was finally a way forward.
If you’re serious about getting help, meet with Nate. He actually cares about his patients and takes the time to truly understand you + build a plan that feels thoughtful, intentional, and human.

I had an excellent experience with Nathan and cannot stop recommending him. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely took the time to listen to my concerns without rushing the appointment. Then he went on to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure I understood what I could do next.
He'd got a lot of compassion but relatability which made me feel comfortable and respected. That makes all the difference for me. I felt truly cared for as a patient.

It was amazing working with Nathaniel, it was such a safe space that he created and he was extremely easy to talk to. I've been looking for years for someone to understand my constant anxiety. He listened to me and was able to make a goal list with me to better map out what going forward looks like. Thank you so much, I really feel seen and heard.
