Jonathan Frank, MSN, PMHNP-BC, RN
Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
Specialties: Adult ADHD, Mood Disorders, Anxiety
Jonathan Frank is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Jon trained under Maria while in school so they have a lot of the same values in prescribing. He has been a nurse for over 10 years and has worked in several specialties, however, psychiatry is close to his heart. Jon's philosophy as a provider is to work with the
client to achieve mental health stability. He specializes in seeing adults, ages 18 to 65.
Jon decided to pursue a graduate degree while he was working as a registered nurse in the Emergency Department. It was in this environment that he experienced a lack of empathy and respect for clients coming in for mental health issues. This made him want to become a frontline advocate for people with mental health issues.
Jon's goal through his practice is to help clients live their best life and to understand their diagnosis, through recommended therapy and medication management.
Jon currently resides in Phoenix, AZ with his husband and two dogs, Koda and Jedda. Outside of work, you will find him making music, at band practice, power-lifting, super-hot pepper farming, cycling and reading.
