Meet your provider
I’m Daniel Sly, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP).
I founded Connections Psychiatry on a simple principle: mental healthcare works best when it is precise, collaborative, and rooted in trust.
Navigating mental health can feel overwhelming, especially when trying to find answers that actually fit what you’re experiencing. My approach centers on getting to the root of the issue through accurate diagnosis and thoughtful, evidence-based prescribing. Medication is a powerful tool, but it is never a one-size-fits-all solution—it should be tailored specifically to your unique biology, goals, and lifestyle.
My Approach: True Collaboration
I believe healing doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Your mental health journey is a partnership, and that means:
- Listening to You: You are the expert on your own lived experience. We work together to find a path forward that feels comfortable, and is aligned with your goals.
- Partnering with Your Therapist: Therapy and psychiatric care are most effective when they work hand-in-hand. With your permission, I actively collaborate with your therapist to ensure your care team is aligned and moving in the same direction.
Background & Experience
I have worked across the healthcare continuum since 2016, giving me a well-rounded, compassionate perspective on patient care:
- Early Experience: My passion for healthcare began while serving as a Spanish medical interpreter during my education, ensuring non-English speaking patients received empathetic, high-quality care.
- Nursing Foundation: I honed my clinical skills as a Psychiatric Registered Nurse, working closely with individuals during critical moments in their recovery.
- Advanced Practice: As a PMHNP, I have provided care across inpatient, outpatient, and telehealth settings, serving both children and adults.
Specialties
While I treat a wide range of psychiatric conditions, I specialize in:
- Mood Disorders (Depression, Bipolar Spectrum Disorders)
- Anxiety disorders (GAD, OCD, and more).
- Trauma & PTSD
Whether you are seeking clarity on a new diagnosis, looking for a second opinion on your current medication, or wanting a provider who takes a holistic, team-based approach to your care, I am here to help you move forward with confidence.
