Duke University, Adjunct Faculty
Meet Brett Stephan, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, the founding psychiatric provider at Tessahealth. Brett received his post-graduate training at Duke and is licensed to prescribe medication and perform therapy for many conditions including depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, schizophrenia, and PTSD.

Brett created Tessahealth to provide a better, more supportive option for people seeking mental healthcare, and to ensure each individual receives the time and attention they deserve. Mental health connects with every part of our lives, which is why Brett transitioned to psychiatry after years in critical care to find a better way to treat the whole person. Brett believes in an integrative, patient-centered approach to care, utilizing modern and well-established medications alongside cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused therapies.
