Author & Founder
Founder of Tallman Psychiatry | Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
Samantha Tallman founded Tallman Psychiatry to provide thoughtful, whole-person psychiatric care by secure telehealth for patients in North Carolina and Arizona. Her clinical background spans psychiatric nursing, emergency and trauma care, telepsychiatry, and patient education, and that range shapes how she listens, reasons through what may be contributing, and explains it in plain language.
Care begins with understanding. Symptoms are read alongside history, environment, relationships, strengths, and goals.
Decisions are shared. Clear education and informed consent come before any treatment plan, and plans are revisited as things change.
Medication is one tool among several. When it fits, care also draws on therapy-informed strategies, behavioral skills, and practical lifestyle work.
A fuller description of her background and credentials is on the About page, and available care is outlined under Services.
Educational information on many of these is available under Conditions.
Samantha stays close to current evidence through evidence-based practice, nursing leadership, and applied research on responsible use of artificial intelligence in healthcare.
Publications, presentations, and research frameworks are listed on the Research & Publications page as each citation is finalized.
