James Edward Camp

James Camp is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) based in Louisville, CO, with a deep commitment to whole-person mental health care. With extensive training and private practice experience, James brings a functional and integrative lens to psychiatry — one that goes beyond symptom management to explore the underlying biological, psychological, social, and lifestyle factors that shape mental health. 

James founded Breakwater Psychiatry and Mental Health to offer something different: a practice where patients are truly heard, where treatment plans are built around the individual rather than a diagnosis, and where the full spectrum of options—from conventional medication management to holistic alternatives and deprescribing—is always on the table.

James approaches every client through a functional and integrative framework. He believes that mental health and physical health are inseparable and that lasting improvement requires addressing root …causes rather than layering on medications.

Areas of Expertise:

• Anxiety disorders, depression, and mood disorders
• ADHD across the lifespan (children, adolescents, adults)
• Trauma, PTSD, and complex trauma
• Bipolar disorder and psychotic disorders
• Integrative and functional approaches to mental health
• Deprescribing and microtapering of psychiatric medications
• Child, adolescent, and family psychiatry
• Relationship, marital, and infidelity recovery therapy
• Substance use and dual-diagnosis support

James is one of a growing number of providers bringing a functional and integrative perspective to psychiatric practice. This means considering how nutrition, sleep, hormonal health, gut function, inflammation, and chronic stress contribute to mental health challenges—and addressing those contributors alongside (or sometimes instead of) conventional treatment.

If you have struggled to find a psychiatrist who takes a holistic view, considers alternatives to medication, or will support you in safely reducing medications you no longer need, Breakwater Psychiatry in Louisville, CO, may be the right fit.
