Samantha Baxter, DO

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with more than 30 years of nursing and healthcare experience, including extensive behavioral health and psychiatric care. My background spans inpatient and outpatient settings, and I have cared for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults with a wide range of psychiatric conditions. My education in advanced psychiatric nursing and clinical psychology gives me a broad perspective on the biological, psychological, social, and environmental factors that affect mental health.

I believe effective psychiatric care begins with listening to the person, not simply treating a diagnosis. I provide thorough, compassionate, straightforward care and value collaboration, education, and open communication. I tailor treatment to your history, needs, previous treatment experiences, and goals, while helping you understand the benefits, risks, and alternatives of your options.

I begin with a comprehensive assessment of your symptoms, history, medications, medical and psychosocial factors, and goals. Together, we develop an individualized plan that may include medication management, psychotherapy principles, behavioral strategies, education, and lifestyle interventions. I monitor progress closely and adjust treatment as your needs evolve.

I earned a master’s degree with a focus in family nurse practitioner from Troy University, a doctorate in nursing practice, and a postgraduate certificate with a focus in psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner from Wilkes University. I have experience working in mental health and medical inpatient, outpatient, and community settings, providing personalized care specific to each patient.

You can expect individualized care and treatment in a supportive environment where you can communicate freely and feel seen and heard. I value building a professional relationship with each patient and understanding your needs, preferences, and goals.

I begin with a comprehensive initial assessment and interview to understand your needs and how you would like to approach treatment. We then work together to develop an individualized, evidence-based treatment plan designed to promote a successful outcome and meet and maintain your goals.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with experience in therapy and psychotropic medication management across partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and virtual outpatient settings. I began my career as an independent stained glass artist, then earned my BSN from Regis University and later my PMHNP degree from Azusa Pacific University.

I approach each patient with genuine curiosity about who you are, how you think and feel, and how you experience life. I value therapeutic rapport, authenticity, empathy, reflection, and a gentle sense of humor. I am willing to have difficult conversations while respecting the importance of timing. I view medication as a tool to support quality of life, not a complete solution.

I begin with a thorough medical, family, and psychiatric history, then collaborate with you to identify what matters most to address first. Together, we develop a realistic plan that may include CBT, DBT, and Mentalization-Based Therapy, along with thoughtful medication management.

‍

I’m a PMHNP who has worked in healthcare since 2012, with experience in inpatient psychiatry, women’s health, addiction medicine, PHP, and IOP settings. I earned my MSN in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Regis College, and my BSN from Simmons University. I treat mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, trauma, ADHD and substance use disorders.

I offer a warm, non-judgmental, trauma-informed environment where patients feel heard and supported. I value collaboration and work with therapists and care teams to provide coordinated, whole-person care. I use psychoeducation and personalized options so patients remain at the center of their treatment.

I begin by giving you space to share your story, concerns, and goals, followed by a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. Together, we develop an individualized plan that reflects your needs and preferences. I provide evidence-based medication management, supportive therapy, and CBT-, DBT-, and mindfulness-informed strategies, adjusting treatment as your progress and goals evolve.

I am dual-certified as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C). My background in family practice and psychiatry helps me understand how emotional health, physical health, relationships, and life experiences are connected. I have cared for people with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, and substance use.

I understand that reaching out for mental health care can feel vulnerable. My goal is to create a warm, respectful space where you can speak openly and feel heard. I do not believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. We will work together to determine what feels realistic, meaningful, and helpful for your life. Medication can be an important tool, but it is not the only one. When appropriate, visits may include supportive therapy, coping skills, and exploration of sleep, stress, relationships, physical health, and routines.

Our first visit is an opportunity for me to hear your story, understand your concerns, and learn what you hope will change. We will explore your symptoms, history, physical health, medications, previous treatments, sleep, stressors, strengths, and what has or has not helped. From there, we will create a plan together. Follow-ups focus on progress, response to treatment, and adjusting the plan as your needs, goals, and circumstances change.

My clinical focus includes depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, PMDD, and postpartum depression, with a holistic, integrative approach that treats the whole person—not just symptoms.

I offer evidence-based psychiatric care that treats each patient as a whole person, not a diagnosis. I enjoy working with patients managing mood, focus, or anxiety concerns, new mothers navigating postpartum shifts in mood, and those with long-standing mental health conditions. I understand that taking the first step toward care is hard, and I'm here to support patients through that process. Mental health struggles are nothing to be ashamed of.

My goal is to understand each patient's history, struggles, concerns, and goals to formulate a treatment plan unique to them. I prioritize supportive, open, and collaborative communication. I work with patients to explore treatment options, including medication and other approaches, to find what works best, since no single approach fits every patient. My focus is on sustainable strategies that help patients feel more like themselves and thrive, not just symptom management.

When more intensive psychotherapy is warranted, I collaborate with an experienced psychotherapist to serve you better. With my experience in internal medicine, I am also comfortable navigating complex medical issues that may interact with your mental health.

I am board-certified in both adult psychiatry and internal medicine. I am a graduate of St. George's University School of Medicine and completed a combined Psychiatry & Internal Medicine residency training program at East Carolina University. Following residency, I completed a fellowship in Clinical Informatics at Oregon Health & Science University, learning how to use modern digital technologies and patient data to improve patient care. Since graduation from residency, I also gained specialized experience in treating veterans with terminal illness, specifically Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (aka Lou Gehrig's Disease), at the VA Medical Center in Portland, OR.

My academic activities include a presentation I have given multiple times on Illness Identity, teaching other clinicians how having an illness can change how we perceive our place in the world and how to help patients manage their relationship with illness.

I focus on medication management while also implementing elements of supportive, dialectical behavioral, and cognitive behavioral therapy within each session to fully address individual needs. At times, I may recommend a therapist for additional therapy. I am experienced in treating a wide range of psychiatric conditions including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD.

I am double board-certified in psychiatry and consultation-liaison psychiatry. I received my medical degree from Universidad Iberoamericana in the Dominican Republic and completed my psychiatric residency at Lincoln Hospital in New York City. I then completed a consultation liaison fellowship at Morningside and West Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, further acquiring proficiency in caring for patients with complex medical and psychiatric comorbidities. After completing training, I worked in an acute inpatient unit and as a psychiatric consultant for patients admitted to medical units in Oregon.

Dr. Stephanie Negrey is a board certified psychiatrist. She completed her undergraduate degree in Biology and History at Fordham University in the Bronx and then attended medical school at the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University. She completed her residency at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio as a member of the United States Air Force. Dr. Negrey served as an active duty psychiatrist; her duties included medical director of the mental health clinic at a special operations base as well as a program manager for the Air Force substance use program.

Dr. Negrey has experience treating a wide range of ages and diagnoses, with particular emphasis on personality disorders, depression, anxiety, and post traumatic stress disorder. She integrates supportive and psychodynamic therapies into her medication management appointments with a goal of achieving improvement through a holistic approach. Dr. Negrey will work with patients to reach their goals for their mental health care while also providing a compassionate and collaborative environment.

My practice centers around treating the whole patient: mind, body, and spirit. I believe the judicious use of psychiatric medications, coupled with psychotherapy and alternative treatments such as meditation and yoga, can bring about transformative changes in the lives of those suffering from depression, anxiety, and other mental conditions and life issues. In addition to general adult psychiatry, I received extensive training in one of the nation's largest women's mood disorder programs at The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and enjoy treating peripartum and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders. I am also well trained in addiction medicine and received additional training in buprenorphine use for opioid addiction.

I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist who has been in practice for over 10 years. I graduated with Honors in Psychology from The University of Florida, received my medical degree from The University of South Alabama School of Medicine, completed a clinical postdoctoral research fellowship at Boston University School of Medicine, and completed my Psychiatry residency training at The University of North Carolina. I am currently obtaining my MBA. After residency, I worked as a psychiatric hospitalist at Trident Medical Center in Charleston and have also worked in private practice. Most recently I served as Chief Medical Officer for an 80-bed psychiatric hospital, Coral Shores Behavioral Hospital in Stuart, FL. I have worked in inpatient units, private practice, and community mental health, as well as served as Chief Medical Officer of a large psychiatric hospital. In 2018 I was awarded the Charleston Choice Award for Best Psychiatrist in Charleston, South Carolina. I currently reside in South Florida.

My philosophy includes a healing-oriented approach that considers the whole person, including all lifestyle aspects. I aim to provide collaborative and comprehensive care, which may include medication management, lifestyle interventions, stress reduction techniques, and other integrative approaches. I employ pharmacotherapy along with supportive therapy and integrative approaches, and I believe that building a strong therapeutic relationship where the patient feels empowered is the key to healing.

I am double Board Certified in Psychiatry and Lifestyle Medicine. I completed my psychiatry residency training at the University of Maryland/Sheppard Pratt, where I served as the chief resident. I am currently working on completing my Ph.D. in Integrative Medicine. I have more than five years of experience treating patients with anxiety, depression, PTSD, Bipolar, OCD, ADHD, and other mental health issues, and I have practiced in various settings over my career, including working for the Department of Defense, private practice, and community mental health. I am fluent in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.
