Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

Hello! I’m Sarah Bovard, DNP, PMHNP-C, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at our Shadyside clinic, dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and older adults and strive to create a safe, welcoming environment where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered. Whether you’re seeking help for the first time or continuing your mental health journey, I recognize that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, and I’m honored to be part of that process.

I believe the best mental health care begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, and collaboration. My approach is person-centered, nonjudgmental, and holistic. I work closely with each individual to understand their unique experiences, strengths, and goals.

My goal is to help you better understand your mental health, build resilience, and develop the tools you need to achieve lasting wellness. Together, we’ll create a treatment plan that supports your goals and helps you move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
