Sherri Crespin

Sherri Crespin

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


Hello, my name is Sherri Crespin, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner passionate about providing integrated care for complex mental health challenges, including personality disorders, PTSD and trauma, schizophrenia and psychosis disorders, substance use disorders, ADHD, depression, anxiety, panic disorders, mood disorders, and bipolar conditions. My practice recognizes these conditions are interconnected in ways requiring specialized understanding.

I chose these specializations because I understand how trauma influences personality development, how ADHD complicates substance use recovery, how psychotic symptoms emerge during extreme stress, and how these complex interactions require providers who see the complete picture. Whether you're in recovery while managing other conditions, dealing with personality patterns that developed as survival mechanisms, or navigating multiple diagnoses, I bring the expertise needed for comprehensive care.

My approach emphasizes evidence-based treatments and the healing power of being truly understood. I recognize that seeking help for stigmatized conditions like personality disorders or psychosis takes tremendous courage, especially after negative experiences with providers. I create a therapeutic space where you can explore your experiences without judgment or shame.

You can expect a thorough assessment, personalized treatment planning, and consistent support throughout our work together. My goal is to help you build resilience, develop effective coping strategies, and thrive in your daily life.

Hi, I'm Evelyn! As a seasoned psychiatric nurse practitioner with over four years of experience, I'm passionate about helping children, teens, and adults navigate their mental health journeys with compassion and understanding.

I believe everyone deserves to feel heard and empowered in their healing process. Through my work with diverse populations—from children as young as six to adults with complex mental health challenges—I've learned the importance of meeting patients exactly where they are, without judgment and with genuine care.

I specialize in ADHD assessment, medication management, and coaching across all ages. Having witnessed how ADHD impacts every aspect of life, I take a comprehensive approach beyond medication. I help families understand ADHD systems, develop coping strategies, and create academic accommodations for success.

My experience includes managing complex psychiatric conditions and treatment-refractory illnesses requiring specialized medications like lithium and dual-antipsychotic treatments. I believe in holistic care, emphasizing how nutrition, physical activity, mindful practices, and sleep hygiene support mental wellness alongside medication.

What sets my practice apart is collaborative care. I work closely with patients and families to create individualized, achievable treatment goals. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, ADHD, or other conditions, I prioritize building therapeutic relationships where you feel safe sharing your experiences.

I maintain high standards with comprehensive malpractice insurance, current California licensure, and DEA certification. My approach includes medication monitoring and regular prescription checks for your safety.

My practice is built on the foundation that everyone deserves compassionate, personalized mental health care. I look forward to partnering with you to achieve the balance and peace you're seeking.
