About Brian Burns

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 12 years of diverse experience spanning inpatient, outpatient, and telepsychiatry settings. For the past 2 years, I have been deeply engaged in telepsych practice, providing accessible, patient-centered psychiatric care to a wide range of individuals across various regions. This modality has allowed me to expand my reach, build strong therapeutic relationships remotely, and deliver consistent, high-quality mental health services in both acute and ongoing care. 🧠 I currently accept new clients via Headway and Psychology Today. https://care.headway.co/providers/brian-burns?utm_source=pem & utm_medium=direct_link & utm_campaign=29638Throughout my career, I have developed a strong clinical foundation in psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, and psychopharmacology, with a deep commitment to evidence-based care. My clinical interests include working with forensic populations, individuals with intellectual disabilities, substance use disorders, the LGBTQIA+ community, survivors of childhood trauma, patients with traumatic brain injuries, and those experiencing acute psychiatric crises or chronic mental illness.I remain committed to lifelong learning, clinical excellence, and culturally competent care while continuing to grow my practice within both traditional and telepsychiatric models.
