About Lynn Gevik

​Sometimes the diagnosis is straightforward. Other times it is not. Symptoms often overlap, and medical conditions, medications, life stressors, and mental health concerns can all influence one another.

​

As a nurse practitioner, I have practiced in outpatient psychiatry, inpatient psychiatry, psychiatry consultation services, hospital medicine, emergency settings, and long-term care. Before becoming a nurse practitioner 12 years ago, I spent nearly 20 years as a registered nurse in bedside, leadership, and administrative roles.

 

During that time, I also co-founded and helped lead a regional healthcare organization. These experiences continue to shape the way I approach psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment. I also serve as faculty in a graduate nursing program, where I teach future nurse practitioners.

​

My training in psychiatry, family practice, and adult-gerontology care allows me to approach mental health concerns from multiple perspectives. Depression, anxiety, attention difficulties, sleep problems, and mood symptoms do not occur in a vacuum. Physical health, medications, life experiences, and current circumstances all matter.

​

Whether you are seeking answers for the first time or looking for a fresh perspective after previous treatment, my goal is to understand the full picture and work with you to develop a thoughtful plan moving forward.​​​
