Anxiety Disorders
From generalized anxiety and panic disorder to social anxiety and specific phobias, our Olympia clinic provides thorough psychiatric evaluations and evidence-based medication management to help you regain control and calm.
Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder involves cycles of mood highs and lows that can disrupt relationships, work, and daily life. We provide ongoing medication management and close monitoring to help stabilize mood and improve your long-term quality of life.
PTSD
Post-traumatic stress disorder can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Our Olympia provider offers compassionate psychiatric evaluation and medication-assisted treatment to reduce PTSD symptoms and support recovery.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder causes unwanted recurring thoughts and repetitive behaviors that interfere with daily functioning. We offer comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and medication management to significantly reduce OCD symptoms.
ADHD
ADHD affects focus, impulse control, organization, and daily functioning in adults and adolescents. We provide thorough ADHD evaluations and personalized medication management at our Olympia, WA clinic to help you thrive at work, school, and home.
Sleep Disorders
Chronic insomnia and sleep disturbances often have underlying psychiatric causes. We assess the root cause of your sleep issues and develop a targeted treatment plan designed to restore restful, healthy sleep.

Why Choose a PMHNP?
Advanced Psychiatric Care with a Personal Touch
A Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) is an advanced practice registered nurse with specialized graduate-level training in psychiatric diagnosis and treatment. PMHNPs are licensed to prescribe psychiatric medications and provide psychotherapy — offering patients the same scope of care as many psychiatrists.
Choosing a PMHNP means receiving expert, evidence-based psychiatric care with a personal, relationship-centered approach. Dr. Kler takes time to understand each patient’s unique history, symptoms, and goals — building a treatment plan that reflects the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
At Healthy Minds Psychiatry, psychiatric care is delivered alongside Heritage Family Medicine’s primary care team, giving patients the benefit of truly integrated, whole-person healthcare under one roof in Olympia, WA.
Our Psychiatric Services
Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluations
Your first visit is a thorough 60-minute evaluation where Dr. Kler reviews your mental health history, current symptoms, past medications, and life circumstances to establish an accurate diagnosis and build an individualized care plan tailored specifically to you.
Medication
Management
Once your treatment plan is in place, we closely monitor the effectiveness of your medications at regular follow-up visits. We adjust dosages or medications as needed to achieve the best possible outcomes with minimal side effects — always keeping your goals at the center of your care.
Follow-Up
Appointments
Ongoing follow-up appointments allow us to track your progress, address new concerns, and refine your treatment over time. We offer both in-person follow-ups at our Olympia clinic and secure telehealth appointments for patients who prefer to meet from home.
Mental Health
Screenings
We use validated clinical screening tools — including the PHQ-9 for depression, GAD-7 for anxiety, PCL-5 for PTSD, and ADHD rating scales — to support accurate diagnosis and objectively measure how well your treatment is working over time.
Psychoeducation
Understanding your diagnosis is a powerful part of recovery. We take time at each visit to explain your condition, how your medications work, what to expect during treatment, and how to recognize signs of progress — empowering you to take an active role in your own mental health.
Psychotherapy
In addition to medication management, Dr. Kler provides supportive therapy within appointments, helping patients develop practical coping strategies, process difficult emotions, and build resilience alongside their psychiatric treatment plan.
