Providing compassionate Mental Health Care, rooted in experience.

Sarah Tyler, PMHNP-BC, is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in patient care. Throughout her career, she has worked in emergency medicine, outpatient care, and forensic services, always with the goal of providing compassionate, personalized mental health support. 

Her passion for mental health began in a fast-paced emergency department, where she often encountered individuals in crisis who had nowhere to turn for ongoing care. Wanting to bridge that gap, she developed a specialized program to provide medical and forensic services to survivors of trauma. This experience deepened her commitment to helping individuals heal, grow, and regain control of their lives.
