Getting to know Sharon Bell-East
Hello and welcome! I’m Sharon B. , a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with extensive experience working with adolescents, college students, and young adults. I specialize in comprehensive ADHD testing and evaluation — helping individuals gain clarity, confidence, and the documentation they need to succeed in academic and workplace settings.
Many patients come to me after years of wondering if ADHD might be affecting their focus, motivation, or performance. My role is to help you find clear answers through a thorough, evidence-based evaluation process — conducted in a supportive, judgment-free environment. Each assessment is personalized, combining clinical precision with compassion and practical insight.
My background in pediatric and young adult psychiatry allows me to understand the unique challenges faced during transitions — from high school to college, or college to career. Whether you’re a student seeking testing for accommodations, a parent looking for answers for your teen, or a professional striving to better manage focus and productivity, I provide a clear path forward rooted in understanding and empowerment.
I believe that insight is power — and that with the right information, every individual can unlock their full potential. My patients appreciate my approachable style, thorough assessments, and commitment to helping them not only obtain necessary accommodations but also develop long-term strategies for success.
Areas of Focus:
• ADHD Testing & Diagnosis (Ages 13–60)
• Academic & Workplace Accommodations
• Focus, Motivation & Executive Function Challenges
• College Mental Health & Transition Support
• Anxiety, Emotional Regulation & Self-Confidence
If you’re ready to gain clarity, validation, and a personalized plan to help you thrive, I’d be honored to partner with you on that journey.
Sharon B. PMHNP
What should a new client know about working with you?
If you’re looking for a provider who is transparent, experienced, and fully invested in your progress — you’ve come to the right place. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with extensive experience working with adolescents, college students, and young adults, I combine evidence-based practices with real-world understanding to help you create lasting change.
My clients often come to me after feeling misunderstood wondering why they struggle with focus, motivation, or follow-through despite their best efforts. I understand those challenges deeply, and my approach is built on patience, compassion, and collaboration. Together, we uncover why certain patterns exist and develop practical, individualized strategies that lead to real, measurable progress.
If you’re a parent seeking support for your teen, know that you’ll never be left out of the process. I believe family involvement is essential, and I make sure parents are informed, supported, and actively included in care — not left sitting in the waiting room guessing what comes next.
With me, you’ll have a partner who listens, explains, and walks beside you each step of the way — guiding you toward clarity, confidence, and lasting success.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I understand that when you’re seeking answers, you don’t want to wait weeks for clarity. That’s why my process is designed to be both efficient and thorough, helping you get the insight and documentation you need — quickly and confidently.
Most new clients are able to schedule their initial appointment within 3–7 days. During that first visit, I conduct a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation where I will gather a detailed history to understand your symptoms, challenges, and goals.
In most cases, diagnostic testing and assessments are completed the same day, allowing me to move promptly toward identifying key concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, or mood-related patterns.
Within 7 days of your initial visit, you’ll receive an in-depth written report that includes diagnostic impressions, recommendations, and — when appropriate — documentation to support academic or workplace accommodations.
My goal is to make this process as seamless and supportive as possible, so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and a personalized plan for success.
