Hi there, I’m Erick!

Hello, I’m Brian Willars, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I specialize in providing compassionate, patient-centered mental health care, focusing on psychiatric assessments, psychotherapy, and medication management. My approach is to work collaboratively with each patient to develop personalized treatment plans that address their unique needs and promote long-term mental wellness.

My approach.

My approach to mental healthcare is centered around providing compassionate, holistic, and patient-centered care. I believe in fostering a collaborative therapeutic relationship, where the patient’s unique experiences, preferences, and goals are at the forefront of care planning. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space for patients to explore their mental health concerns, ensuring they feel heard and understood. When appropriate, I incorporate psychopharmacology to manage symptoms in conjunction with psychotherapy. I believe in a balanced approach where medication can support therapy and improve the quality of life for patients who need it.

My focus.

I typically work with both adults and adolescents, providing care in both inpatient and outpatient settings. My patient focus includes those experiencing a range of mental health conditions such as anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and schizophrenia. I am also comfortable treating individuals dealing with co-occurring disorders, such as substance use disorders alongside mental health conditions. My goal is to offer tailored, evidence-based care that supports each patient’s unique journey toward mental wellness.

My communication style.

My communication style is warm, empathetic, and collaborative. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where patients feel comfortable expressing themselves openly.
