Welcome to Frederick Mental Health

Dana Nearman

Why Work With a Pediatric PMHNP?

  • Holistic Nursing Model: We evaluate the whole child—looking at physical health, sleep, nutrition, family dynamics, and lifestyle alongside brain chemistry.

  • Careful, Conservative Treatment: Medication is never the default first step; when recommended, it is integrated cautiously and thoughtfully.

  • A Safe Space for Youth: Designed to meet children and teens at their developmental level, making visits stress-free and encouraging open dialogue.
