Dr. Stacey Forbes, DNP, PMHNP-BC

Dr. Stacey Forbes, DNP, APRN, PMHNP-BC, is a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, clinical leader, and the founder of Willow & Stone Integrative Mental Health. Backed by nearly two decades of clinical expertise spanning emergency stabilization, VA medical centers, and acute inpatient care, Dr. Forbes brings an extraordinary depth of insight and clinical acumen to her practice. With over 1,000 hours of advanced continuing education, she bridges the rigor of conventional evidence-based psychiatry with the transformative depth of functional, whole-person healing. Rather than relying on quick fixes or standard symptom suppression, Dr. Forbes partners with adolescents (ages 12+) and adults to uncover the deeper biological, emotional, and environmental drivers behind mental health struggles.

Driven by the belief that lasting recovery requires looking beneath the surface, Dr. Forbes specializes in root-cause functional psychiatry—evaluating how gut-brain …inflammation, hormone shifts, metabolic imbalances, and genetic pathway variants shape mood, focus, and nervous system health. Whether guiding high-achieving professionals through burnout, supporting teens through severe depressive episodes, or helping individuals who feel traditional antidepressants have failed them, her care is meticulous, trauma-informed, and highly personalized. Her clinical framework combines comprehensive biological lab testing with precision medication management, prioritizing minimal effective dosing to restore clarity and vitality.
