“Love our little therapy sessions. Shehnaz always has the answers to any and all questions or concerns I may have. Very intelligent without coming off as condescending at all. She seems genuinely interested in helping and comes off as very sincere and authentic, which makes it very easy to open up to her without the feeling of being judged. She's an absolute pleasure to have as a therapist, I hope everyone else who might need (or want) therapy gets someone like her. 5 stars, 100% recommend!!”

“Picking just two things that stand out about Dr Hussain was very difficult. She is warm, understanding, and very patient. She is also very intelligent. She really comes across like she knows what she is talking about. Always quick with an educated and genuine answer to any questions or concerns I might have. I wish there were more doctors like her. More doctors that didn't make you feel like you were just a piece of paper and giving you the same cookie cutter diagnosis and medication. She makes you feel like she's really trying to help. I appreciate that. ”

Getting to know Shehnaz Hussain

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing care for children, teens, and adults. Many people I see aren’t sure what diagnosis they have - they just know something feels off: constant overthinking, low motivation, mood swings, burnout, trouble focusing, or medications that no longer seem to help. My role is to slow things down and figure out what’s actually going on. I treat a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, bipolar and mood disorders, trauma, ADHD, sleep problems, emotional regulation difficulties, and substance use. I provide full psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy. I do diagnose ADHD when appropriate, but I don’t assume symptoms automatically equal one condition - many concerns overlap, and understanding the full picture leads to better treatment and fewer medication frustrations. Appointments are conversational and collaborative. I explain what symptoms mean, why they happen, and all available options. You won’t be rushed or pushed into medication decisions. Some patients come specifically for medication, others for clarity or a second opinion - both are welcome. Many people tell me they feel relief after the first visit simply because they finally understand what they’re experiencing and have a clear plan. When helpful, I coordinate care with therapists, families, and primary care providers so treatment stays consistent and practical in daily life. If you’ve been feeling stuck, unsure about your diagnosis, or wondering whether treatment could help, the first session is simply a place to sort it out together.
