Our Providers
Lori Fox
APRN, PMHNP
With over 11 years of experience in research, community mental health, and private practice, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive mental health care.
I am certified in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies and Research from the California Institute of Integral Studies and have extensive ketamine training from the Polaris Insight Center. My practice areas of interest include depression, existential distress, ADHD, OCD, and eating disorders, with a special focus on serving people who identify as artists, creatives, caregivers, and mothers. As an LGBTQ+ ally with a racial and social justice focus, I strive to create an inclusive and supportive environment for all clients.
My passion for mental health stems from a deep desire to collaborate with people and connect with the inner healing intelligence we all possess. I create spaces for clients to feel heard and supported, utilizing tools that cater to their unique needs and preferences. I believe in the power of relational support and offer unconditional positive regard to whatever arises in our work together. While Western psychiatry often pathologizes suffering, my approach is to meet clients where they are and provide resources and tools that may alleviate suffering and enhance their connection to themselves and others.
I have a BA in Anthropology from the University of North Carolina (UNC) and a Master's in Nursing with a Psychiatric Specialty from the University of Texas (UT).
Tatyana Gustafson
APRN, PMHNP
I approach mental health and wellness from a deep-rooted passion for this work. My journey in this field started when I was born into a multi generational family of mental health professionals. I became licensed to practice psychiatry/psychotherapy after completing a Master's in Nursing from the University of Texas at Austin. I am dually certified as a Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) and a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP).
My approach centers on establishing long-term relationships with patients, supporting them through the ebbs and flows of mental illness while also focusing on mental wellness during periods of stability. I specialize in general psychiatry with teens, adults and seniors. I have extensive history working with mood disorders, insomnia, anxiety disorders, traumatic brain injury, executive function and the myriad of symptoms that result from acute and chronic trauma.
My practice draws from years of experience as a full-time faculty member at UT Austin, where I taught courses on various aspects of mental health and continue to serve as a guest lecturer. Teaching, on multiple levels, remains an important part of my work.
To continue my work in this dynamic field of healing, I completed a Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) certification through the Integrative Psychiatric Institute. This work has expanded my approach to psychiatry beyond the traditional methods of treatment. I am actively engaged in educating mental health professionals about KAP through retreats and presentations, sharing my insights and experiences at professional conferences.
In my practice, I uphold a personalized approach, recognizing the inherent healing capacities within each individual. I believe in fostering a collaborative and empathetic environment where we can navigate suffering without judgment and explore the tools available to alleviate burdens and promote growth.
Together, let us embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing.
Susie Seay
APRN, PMHNP
As humans, we all have the ability to overcome obstacles and lead fulfilling lives. Carl Jung once stated, "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become." As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner I provide psychiatric support in a safe and empathetic environment where concerns are heard and understood. I work with clients to identify goals in order to create actionable steps towards growth and healing, and together we develop a tailored client-centered comprehensive plan that works towards meeting these goals.
I see individuals 12 years of age and older and have experience working in outpatient private practice and in adolescent residential treatment. My practice areas of special interest include ADHD, perinatal mental health, treatment resistant depression, and substance use disorders.
I have a great love for teaching and research and continue to engage with academia. I have taught as a Clinical Instructor with the University of Texas at Austin School of Nursing and regularly serve as a preceptor for graduate nursing students. I have a Bachelor of Business Administration in International Business from the University of Texas at Austin and a Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Texas at Austin.
