Kiara Porter, PMHNP-BC

As a committed Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I ensure a caring and inclusive approach to mental health care. My practice is grounded in a thorough understanding of trauma-informed care and holistic healing. Throughout my career, I have had the pleasure of serving a diverse background of patient populations, including veterans, adults, and children. This has equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide high-quality care across various demographics.

As an advocate for mental health, I strongly believe in prioritizing patient perspectives and fostering equal partnerships. Each patient is viewed as a collaborative partner in their journey toward wellness. My goal is to help foster the development of personalized and supportive treatment plans that respect individual experiences while acknowledging the unique neurological and emotional landscapes of each person.

I take pride in delivering comprehensive and empathetic care that facilitates mental health recovery. I am dedicated to establishing a welcoming, safe, and affirming environment where patients feel listened to, respected, and empowered to manage their mental health with dignity and optimism.

Outside of work, I enjoy the simple comforts of life which include spending time with family, trying new restaurants with friends, making candles, reading books, and trying new activities. My current read is “The Body Keeps the Score” written by Bessel van der Kolk.
