Meet Your Provider

I'm Tara Wells, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, founder of 316 Psychiatry & Wellness.

As a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide evidence-based psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, and medication management through a personalized, patient-centered approach. I believe the best psychiatric care begins with listening. Every person's story is unique, and treatment should reflect that.

I work collaboratively with patients to understand their symptoms, identify contributing factors, and develop individualized treatment plans that support lasting mental wellness and improved quality of life. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their care.

When clinically appropriate and aligned with a patient's goals, I also incorporate an integrative perspective by considering sleep, nutrition, lifestyle factors, laboratory findings, nutritional supplements, and pharmacogenetic testing to further personalize treatment recommendations.

I have a special interest in caring for children and adolescents experiencing attention and focus challenges, young adults seeking to better understand how their brain is wired, individuals struggling with sleep concerns and brain fog, perinatal patients, and older adults experiencing memory concerns and dementia.

Whether you're seeking care for the first time or looking for a fresh perspective, I'm committed to helping you move toward greater clarity, balance, and hope.
