Hello, I'm Avis Hershfield, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I am passionate about helping people find balance using a collaborative approach that blends personalized and effective evidence-based medication management with brief supportive therapy and/or other evidence based therapeutic modalities based on your needs. Medication plays a key role in managing mental health, but it's not the sole answer. Think of me as your partner in this journey.

I have always been the friend that people have been able to turn to and consider a good listener. I love hearing people’s stories. While initially interested in psychology- and receiving my undergraduate degree in it- I initially resisted the inclination to go into psychiatry during medical school. However, during my clinical rotations, the psychiatry rotation was the one that left me feeling the most excited, engaged, and “alive.” I recognized this was my calling and continue to feel humbled and grateful to work with my patients.

My interests in TMS and esketamine treatments stem from my belief that there is no one-size-fits-all to mental health treatment. I am interested in finding what works best for each individual, rather than relying exclusively on more traditional treatment modalities. My ideal patient is interested in pursuing personal wellness – whatever that may mean to them as an individual.

Trained at Johns Hopkins University and triple board-certified in psychiatry, family, and women's health, I have experience caring for a diverse client population. I use a holistic, whole-person approach, meaning that we not only focus on medication, but also on lifestyle and behavioral changes. When medication is recommended, our goal is to reduce side effects while maximizing the benefits. You will find that I am curious, open-minded, inquisitive, and accepting. I care about my clients deeply and aim to build trust and respect within our therapeutic relationship.

Welcome and thank you for you interest in seeking out care. I have eight years of experience in primary care as well as the experience that I have in Psychiatry. I enjoy integrating my expertise in mental health along with my understanding of physical health in a comprehensive manner. I am open to multiple modalities of treatment but I also recognize that there is no "one size fits all" approach to medicine. I enjoy empowering patients in their care as much as is possible and safe. My ideal patient is therefore someone who is open and honest about their symptoms so that I can most effectively treat their specific problems.

I am committed to creating an environment of safety and support where clients can heal and move forward in their journeys of recovery. I understand the importance of having to change in order to live in line with your own personal values.
