Teresa Arnold, APRN, PMHNP-BC

If you are feeling exhausted from carrying the weight of severe depression, intrusive thoughts, or relentless anxiety, and you feel like you have tried every medication and therapy without relief, I want you to know that you're not alone. Perhaps you are battling the exhausting cycles of obsessive-compulsive challenges (OCD), feeling overwhelmed by thoughts of suicide, or wondering if you will ever find a treatment that actually works for your depression. There is hope, even when you feel like you have run out of options. When you work with me, you are partnering with a specialist who understands the complex, high-stakes nature of severe mental health struggles. My background in intensive care unit (ICU) nursing means I am uniquely equipped to navigate crisis, manage complex conditions, and offer cutting-edge, evidence-based interventions. I specialize in treating OCD, suicidal ideation, and treatment-resistant depression using a highly personalized approach. Our process goes beyond traditional medication management. Together, we will integrate targeted psychotherapy strategies and explore advanced, rapid-acting options like Spravato® (esketamine) to help interrupt the cycle of despair. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where we can confront your deepest fears and work collaboratively toward relief. My ultimate goal is to help you regain control of your mind and your life.

About Our Practice & Services Our practice is designed to be a sanctuary for those seeking specialized, high-touch mental health care. Led by Teresa Arnold, board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, we are a dedicated two-provider team committed to helping you navigate severe depression, OCD, or mental health crises. We understand that recovery requires more than just a standard, rushed appointment. That is why we offer comprehensive, integrated care that looks at you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis. To make care as accessible as possible, we are licensed to treat patients across three states (TN, IA, NV), offering both convenient telehealth appointments and in-person visits at our Maryville, TN, clinic. How We Work We believe in collaborative, highly personalized care. From your very first inquiry, our goal is to make your transition into treatment seamless and stress-free. We offer a streamlined intake process to quickly assess your needs, coordinate with your insurance, and get you the support you need without unnecessary delays. While we provide traditional psychiatric evaluations and ongoing care, we specialize in advanced services designed for complex and treatment-resistant conditions: Integrated Medication & Therapy: We don't believe in simply writing a prescription. Our appointments combine precise medication management with supportive psychotherapy interventions to help you process challenges and build lasting coping skills. REMS-Certified Spravato® (Esketamine) Treatment: For those struggling with treatment-resistant depression or acute suicidal thoughts, we are a fully certified Spravato® REMS (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy) treatment center. We provide supervised esketamine sessions in a calm, safe, and comfortable clinic environment, with close monitoring throughout your session. Collaborative Care Coordination: If you already have a trusted therapist or primary care doctor, we gladly partner with them. We work as a team to ensure all aspects of your mental and physical health are aligned. Whether you meet with Teresa or Betsy, online or in person, you will find a supportive, compassionate team dedicated to helping you reclaim your quality of life.
