Alexis Johnson, ARNP, PMHNP-BC, is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and owner of
Serene Mind Psychiatry, an outpatient private practice in Washington State. She has worked in mental
health for over 20 years, beginning her career as a psychiatric nurse before advancing to independent
practice. Alexis provides comprehensive psychiatric care for mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD,
trauma-related conditions, and incorporates innovative treatments like ketamine-assisted therapy when
appropriate.
Alexis is passionate about Collaborative Care and integrated models of mental health delivery. Through
the Community Based Fellowship, she hopes to expand her skills in team-based care, strengthen
connections between behavioral health and primary care providers, and develop strategies to improve
access in underserved areas. She envisions applying what she learns to enhance care coordination
and reduce barriers for clients in her community.
Looking ahead, Alexis hopes to see Collaborative Care become the norm in all healthcare settings
within the next five years—where mental and physical health services are seamlessly connected,
stigma is reduced, and every person has timely access to comprehensive, whole-person care.
