Dana Sullivan is a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and integrative mental health care. Before transitioning into psychiatric practice, Dana worked as a NICU nurse, an experience that profoundly shaped her clinical lens. Caring for patients and families in high-acuity, high-stakes moments deepened her ability to stay calm under pressure, collaborate across disciplines, and show up with genuine compassion during vulnerable times.

Dana’s psychiatric practice is grounded in a whole-person philosophy. She believes effective care goes beyond symptom management and includes understanding the biological, psychological, and lifestyle factors that influence each patient’s well-being, including sleep, nutrition, hormones, and nervous system regulation. She is particularly attuned to complex presentations where medical, hormonal, or inflammatory factors intersect with mental health, and is experienced working with patients navigating perimenopausal and hormonal-related mood and cognitive changes alongside more traditional psychiatric concerns.

Her approach to care is collaborative and unhurried. Dana emphasizes shared decision-making, thorough patient education, and conservative evidence-based prescribing, focused on long-term stability rather than quick fixes. She works closely with therapists, primary care providers, and other specialists to ensure her patients receive coordinated, comprehensive care.
