Are you tired of feeling like a number? Dismissed by medical professionals who refuse to consider deeper possibilities for your mental health challenges? Exhausted by the constant overprescribing of medication without feeling truly heard and seen? Without attention and time spent looking further into root causes that could be affecting you such as hormonal imbalances, lifestyle, and diet, without consideration for adverse side effects? Meet Brianna.
With over a decade of experience, Brianna’s journey into the world of mental health began at the University of Toledo, where she laid the foundation for her career. Her commitment to excellence led her to the University of Michigan Hospital, where she honed her skills under the guidance of renowned psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners. Before embarking on her path as a PMHNP-BC, she worked as a pediatric-psychiatric nurse for many years, where she provided high-quality care to a diverse client population and their families. This background allowed her to develop a keen understanding of the unique challenges and needs of her clients.
Brianna has dedicated her career to making a profound impact on the nation’s ongoing mental health crisis. Brianna uses a comprehensive approach and considers the whole person when integrating medication. She also incorporates the use of Gene Sight testing into her practice, a type of genetic testing that helps determine which psychiatric medications may be most effective for an individual based on their genetic makeup. Brianna’s passion lies in working with young adult to middle-aged women, with a particular emphasis on understanding the various hormonal changes that women go through, including perimenopausal and perinatal stages. Collaboration and referrals to other professionals are integral parts of her approach, as she understands that medication is not always the sole solution to mental health challenges.
Brianna Foster, PMHNP-BC, stands at the forefront of holistic mental health care, driven by her commitment to improving the lives of her clients. Her dedication to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and comprehensive care makes her a beacon of hope in the field of psychiatric nursing.
