Welcome to PRISM Mental Health
Taking the first step toward mental wellness can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. At PRISM Mental Health, we believe in the power of compassion, collaboration, and personal growth. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, or other mental health challenges, we are here to listen, guide, and empower you.
I’m Sam Johnson, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized care. I specialize in medication management while recognizing that true healing involves more than just medication. Together, we’ll explore your goals, strengths, and challenges to create a treatment plan that supports your mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
You deserve to feel seen, understood, and supported. Let’s take the next step together.
Who We Are
PRISM is more than just our name, it is both a powerful metaphor and a meaningful acronym that reflects our values: Personal Growth, Resilience, Inspiration, Self-love, and Mindfulness.
We provide evidence-based psychiatric care rooted in compassion and collaboration. Just as a prism brings clarity and transformation by breaking light into its full spectrum, we aim to help you better understand your mental health, manage symptoms, improve daily functioning, and support the full expression of who you are.
The acronym PRISM reflects the essence of what we aim to achieve together. Each letter stands for an important aspect of the healing process:
P-Personal Growth
We use evidence-based psychiatric care to support your long-term growth—not just managing symptoms, but helping you move toward greater clarity, stability, and self-understanding.
R- Resilience
Psychiatric treatment can strengthen your ability to bounce back from setbacks, manage stress, and regain a sense of control, even during life’s most difficult moments.
I- Inspiration
Improving mental health can renew your sense of purpose and possibility. Our goal is to help you feel more motivated, hopeful, and engaged in your life again.
S- Self-love
Healing includes learning to treat yourself with care and compassion. Through thoughtful psychiatric support, we aim to help reduce the burden of shame, low self-worth, or self-criticism and support a more empowered, confident connection with yourself.
M- Mindfulness
In psychiatric care, mindfulness enhances treatment by increasing awareness of mood patterns, stress triggers, and response to medications. We incorporate it as a tool to support emotional regulation, track progress, and stay grounded in the present.
Our Services
At PRISM Mental Health, we offer medication management services designed to support your mental well-being. Whether you’re navigating a new diagnosis, seeking to continue care, or looking to adjust your current treatment, we provide personalized care that empowers you to make informed decisions about your health.
What is medication management?
Medication management is a collaborative process where we work together to determine if medication can support your mental health goals. It includes:
Evaluation and Assessment: We take the time to understand your mental health history, current symptoms, and goals.
Personalized Treatment Planning: If medication is appropriate, we’ll discuss your options and collaborate on a plan that feels right for you.
Ongoing Monitoring and Support: Your progress matters. We’ll meet regularly to assess how your treatment is working and make adjustments as needed.
Education and Empowerment: We’ll provide clear, compassionate information so you can make informed decisions about your care.

Meet Your Provider
Hi, I’m Sam Johnson, a board-certified family and psychiatric nurse practitioner and the founder of PRISM Mental Health. I’ve been practicing as a family nurse practitioner since 2016 and have specialized in psychiatry since 2020. My background in both physical and mental health allows me to take a comprehensive, whole-person approach to care.
My style is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in education. I take time to understand your history, your goals, and what matters most to you. From there, I offer personalized recommendations and information so that you can make informed decisions about your care. I want you to feel like an empowered participant in your mental health journey, with support that extends beyond just medication.
At PRISM, I strive to create a welcoming, inclusive, affirming, and safe space for everyone. A place where you can be your true self without fear of judgment. I believe that healing begins when we feel seen, valued, and accepted for who we are.
When I’m not working, I’m probably at a concert, up in the air practicing aerial arts, or planning Halloween decorations way too early. I love live music, comedy shows, movies, and any excuse to travel somewhere new, especially if it involves laughter or something a little weird and wonderful.
