I'm a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner licensed in Minnesota and Arizona. I provide online mental health care that blends conventional psychiatry with integrative and functional approaches.
— Sara Pirness, PMHNP-BC
Instead of quick 15-minute checks, I take time to listen and create individualized plans—whether that includes medications, natural supplements, lab testing, or lifestyle strategies. The goal is to help you heal and thrive, not just manage symptoms.
With over 5 years of experience as a psychiatric provider in outpatient settings, I provide care for children, adolescents, and adults across the full spectrum of mental health needs. My clinical journey also includes inpatient nursing experience working with severely mentally ill patients—both pediatric and adult populations.
This diverse background gives me insight into the full continuum of care, from acute crisis stabilization to long-term wellness. Whether in private practice or rural community health settings, I've worked with individuals managing severe mental illness, dual diagnosis, and complex conditions.
I bring a comprehensive understanding of how mental health intersects with physical health, lifestyle factors, and individual circumstances to create personalized treatment plans.
