Allison Crosby, RN, BSN, MSN, PMHNP-BC
I am Allison, a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who has been working in Mental Health since 2009.
I attended the University of Akron, where I obtained a bachelor of science in nursing. After graduating, I worked in several inpatient psychiatric facilities.
I also taught mental health nursing for two colleges and a university. I attended graduate school at Ohio University, earning a master’s degree in nursing and becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner. During the course of obtaining this degree, I developed a passion for outpatient psychiatric medication management.
I am excited to utilize my experience and skills in the outpatient setting. I specialize in medication management for a variety of psychiatric conditions, including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, schizophrenia, and post-traumatic stress disorder. I treat my patients based on a philosophy of individualized, collaborative care. I believe that effective treatment involves the patient and provider coming together to form a plan and implement strategies in your daily life that improve your overall mental health.
When not caring for my patients, I enjoy cooking, shopping, and spending time with my family and dog.
Allison is currently accepting new patients for in person and telehealth sessions.

I’m problem-focused and often take a very behavioral approach; I like to help you break down the issues so we can attempt to get to the bottom of what’s actually happening.
My therapy sessions are conversation-led, with prompting and questions from me. I like for us to explore all sides of our topic, so I often offer alternative viewpoints, but that’s me wanting to make you think!
