Kneeley Bartels

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, I have always been passionate about helping people through some of life's most challenging moments. After several years working as a psychiatric nurse in both inpatient and outpatient settings, I saw firsthand the life-changing impact that compassionate, evidence-based mental health care can have, which inspired me to become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Today, I provide collaborative, patient-centered care for adolescents and adults experiencing conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma-related disorders, and psychotic disorders. What I enjoy most is getting to know each person beyond their diagnosis, helping them recognize their strengths, and watching them gain confidence as they work toward their goals. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, reading, working on home improvement projects, and staying current on advances in mental health care. I'm always eager to learn something new—whether that's exploring the latest psychiatric research, taking on a DIY project, or planning my next adventure.
