Patrice Roy MSN, PMHNP-BC

Patrice Roy MSN, PMHNP-BC, is a psychiatric nurse practitioner with more than twenty-five years of clinical experience.

She began her career in Maine, where she helped build the addiction consultation services and co-founded the Dana Center Addictions Training Project—grounded in the conviction that people struggling with trauma, depression, and substance use deserve more than a prescription and a waiting list. That conviction brought her to Arizona, where she joined Mayo Clinic’s integrated care team and continued to seek out approaches that could help patients whom conventional psychiatry too often could not.

Ketamine-assisted therapy felt less like a pivot than a homecoming. After years of witnessing the limits of conventional treatment, Patrice found, in this work, something that matched what she’d always believed—that people are more resilient than their suffering suggest and that the right therapeutic conditions can invite possibilities that once felt out of reach.

Patrice holds dual master’s degrees in psychiatric-mental health nursing and education, and has taught at the University of Southern Maine, Vermont College of Medicine, University of New England, and Drexel University. She brings to every session both her clinical depth and her genuine care for the person in front of her. It is, she’ll tell you, a privilege to be part of a person’s healing journey.
