Meet Your Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

Supporting Mental Wellness with Compassion, Care, and Clinical Expertise

Hello!

I am Charles Scribner, PMHNP-BC, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Peaceful Presence Mental Health. With over 16 years of experience in healthcare, including hospital and psychiatric settings, I specialize in evidence-based psychiatric medication management, with psychotherapy thoughtfully integrated as part of care. I work with adults and adolescents (12+) navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, mood disorders, and life transitions. My approach is grounded in clinical rigor, careful psychopharmacology, and collaboration—treating the whole person, not just a diagnosis. Peaceful Presence was created to offer psychiatric care that feels thoughtful, balanced, and sustainable. My goal is to help clients build stability and confidence through well-considered treatment, while supporting their capacity to grow, adapt, and thrive.

For a more detailed overview of my background and clinical approach, please visit my Psychology Today profile.
