Alexis Grimm, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC

With a Master’s degree from Vanderbilt University earned in 2021, and over a decade of nursing experience since becoming a RN in 2009, Alexis has dedicated her career to improving mental health care. Inspired by witnessing gaps in psychiatric care in various communities she has lived in, Alexis chose to specialize in psychiatry to make a meaningful impact. Treating patients across the lifespan, she believes in addressing the root cause of issues and strives to strike a harmonious balance between the miracles of modern medicine and holistic approaches to wellness.

Born in the Pacific Northwest, Alexis has deep roots in the region. Her grandparents moved to Richland in 1944 to work at Hanford, contributing to the foundation of the community. Today, Alexis feels honored to give back to the very community that played such a pivotal role in her family’s history.

Alexis’ compassionate and comprehensive approach embodies her commitment to fostering health, resilience, and hope for every patient she serves.
