Hi    

I'm Brianna Dawson

I’m an integrative psychiatric nurse practitioner, and I believe you deserve more than a quick fix—you deserve care that sees the whole you.

My

Story

If you’re ready to feel like yourself again—and maybe even discover a version of you that feels more grounded, clear, and whole than ever before—I’d be honored to walk with you.

Think we would be a good fit? Learn more about my practice and service offerings below.

I grew up in a blended family, often feeling like the outsider, quietly absorbing expectations that didn’t fit. Over time, I learned to untangle my identity from external pressure—and that work informs the way I show up for my clients: with curiosity, compassion, and clarity. My clinical roots are in acute inpatient psychiatry, perinatal mental health, and community care. But the thread through it all has been this: listening deeply, honoring the full complexity of my clients, and offering care that’s both scientifically sound and profoundly human.

Behavioral Wellness for Women was born from my desire to create the kind of space I wished existed—one that blends modern psychiatry with integrative wellness, where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered at every step. Whether we’re addressing intrusive thoughts, burnout, postpartum rage, or fertility grief, my approach is layered and personalized. That might include a low-dose medication regimen, nervous system support, evidence-based supplements, and lifestyle shifts that actually feel doable.

Outside the clinic, you’ll probably find me in a Pure Barre class, baking something sweet, or training for my next Spartan race. I’m a cat lover (Shawna is my sidekick), a plant mom-in-training, and a big fan of beach days, killer documentaries, and wine nights with my boyfriend. I believe in doing the work and living well—and I bring that same balance into the care I offer.
