Psychiatry in North Olmsted, Ohio Angela Dotson, Nurse Practitioner

Angela Dotson, PMHNP, helps adults and older adults find stability, clarity, and relief through thoughtful, evidence-based psychiatric care. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at LifeStance Health, she provides medication management for patients across Ohio, supporting adults and seniors as they navigate complex mental health concerns. Angela partners closely with patients to develop personalized treatment plans that promote symptom relief, improved daily functioning, and long-term emotional well-being.

A central focus of Angela’s work is supporting individuals who have been recently discharged from a psychiatric hospital. She is especially passionate about helping patients transition from inpatient to outpatient care with continuity, compassion, and clear clinical guidance. Angela prioritizes stabilization, medication optimization, and patient education during this critical period, helping individuals regain balance, reduce the risk of relapse, and feel confident moving forward in their recovery.

In her broader clinical practice, Angela treats conditions such as anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, while also addressing complex presentations that may include trauma-related symptoms, sleep disorders, or co-occurring medical concerns. She has experience working with diverse populations, including individuals from the LGBTQ+ community, first responders, and those with autism spectrum disorders. Her clinical approach blends medication management with supportive therapeutic strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based interventions, and skill development, with additional approaches offered as clinically appropriate.

Angela brings more than 30 years of healthcare experience to her role and began practicing as a PMHNP in 2023. Outside of work, she is passionate about mindfulness and yoga, practices that help her remain centered and fully present with her patients.
