Severine Dondina, PMHNP

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 Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with more than 13 years of psychiatric nursing experience and medication management. I help adults navigate depression, anxiety, ADHD, panic disorders, bipolar disorder, insomnia, and other mental health concerns. I believe in thoughtful, evidence-based care that takes time to understand each patient as an individual.

I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and supportive setting where patients feel comfortable being open and honest. I believe effective treatment starts with listening to each patient’s concerns, goals, history, and circumstances rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I value open communication, collaboration, and respect, with realistic, individualized goals that support mental health and quality of life.

I begin with a comprehensive evaluation of current concerns, psychiatric and medical history, medications, lifestyle, and goals. I use this information to develop an individualized plan based on each patient’s needs, preferences, and clinical presentation. When medication is appropriate, I discuss benefits, risks, side effects, and alternatives so patients can make informed decisions. Follow-ups focus on progress, effectiveness, tolerability, new concerns, and adjustments when clinically appropriate.

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.

My philosophy is to meet you where you are in life and walk beside you toward where you hope to be. I create a welcoming, relaxed, and nonjudgmental environment grounded in unconditional positive regard and solution-focused care.

I use evidence-based screening tools and a thorough history to inform diagnosis, while considering possible medical causes of symptoms and collaborating with other clinicians when needed. I explain my clinical impressions and diagnoses in detail and develop a treatment plan centered on your goals. Options may include medication, education, and alternative therapies based on your preferences and comfort level.

Hello! I’m Brennan, a psychiatric nurse practitioner. My practice is grounded in compassion, curiosity, transparency, and creating an inclusive space where you feel heard and respected. I specialize in PTSD and C-PTSD and work with LGBTQIA+ concerns, polyamory/ENM, weight-loss psychiatry, and other areas that may not receive attention in traditional mental health settings.

Your first appointment begins with a conversation about what is troubling you, not simply assigning a diagnosis. I want to understand your symptoms, concerns, history, goals, and what you hope to get from treatment. We’ll discuss explanations and treatment options, including approaches with and without medication. You should expect compassion, careful questioning, and an honest conversation. We’ll work toward a plan that addresses your needs and clarifies next steps.

My approach follows a “no surprise” method of communication. If your diagnosis, medication, treatment approach, or therapy style needs to change, I’ll explain what changed, why, and what information led us there. You should never feel like decisions are being made without you. I value open communication and want you to feel secure, respected, and heard. My goal is to work with you rather than tell you what to do. We’ll assess what is working, what isn’t, and adjust so your care aligns with your goals.

During our first appointment, I take time to thoroughly explore your history, current concerns, and where you would like to go in treatment. I carry that understanding into each follow-up visit, with you directing the goals of your care while we adjust your treatment together as your needs evolve.

Above all, patients’ needs will guide the agenda.
