I provide a genuine, supportive, judgment-free space where counseling feels like a conversation, not an interrogation. Together, we’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck, build practical coping skills, recognize your strengths, and work toward meaningful change. My experience includes mental health, substance use, recovery, relationships, stress, and life transitions. Outside of counseling, I’m an author who enjoys writing, crocheting, creativity, and family time.

Dexter Tenison, APRN

Psychiatry

Hi, I’m Dexter, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP). High-functioning professionals often look calm on the outside while battling anxiety, burnout, ADHD (non-stimulant), or sleep disruption internally. If you’re excelling at work or school, but struggling to slow your thoughts, regulate stress, or maintain balance at home, you’re not alone. I provide discreet, evidence-based psychiatric care for professionals and students who value efficiency, clarity, and measurable progress. If you’re ready to feel steady, sharp, and in control again, reach out to schedule a consultation.
