Hello! My name is Brittany and I am a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner. I’m glad that you were able to find us, and I hope we can work together to support your mental health or treatment related goals. I primarily provide medication management with a focus on patient collaboration and evidence-based practice. You are the expert on your own life, and I hope that we are able to create a treatment plan that honors and respects your lived experience.
I have been working in the mental health field for 12 years and have been able to gain valuable experience through working in various settings. I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 2014 and then received my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the same university in 2017. I have had the opportunity to work as a registered nurse in a residential facility for children and adolescents, a substance use treatment facility, and a medical-behavioral health unit for adolescents at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2023 and have been working as a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) for the past 3 years. During this time, I have provided medication management in an outpatient setting to all ages, as well as providing services in a school system designed for students who require a specialized educational setting due to behavioral challenges and/or mental health needs.
Throughout my career, I have focused on supporting members of neurodivergent and autistic communities, as well as individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community. I hope that through our work together, you feel heard and that you are able to ask questions or voice concerns. I never want our appointments to feel rushed and even if I do not know the answer at the time, I hope I can still provide a compassionate and listening ear.
Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, video games, rugby, and movie nights with my partner and four cats.
Please Note: I provide only medication management at this time via telehealth. I am not providing ongoing therapy. If you are interested in mental health therapy, please contact us to schedule an appointment with our therapist. Thanks!

Hello! My name is Polli. I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who provides medication management. I am a proponent of collaborative, patient-centered, integrative care, and I believe that the input of my patients is important and necessary in their own treatment. I am an artist at heart and I love to draw, paint, write, sing, and create beautiful new things out of old worn out items.
I have been working in the psychiatric field for 20 years and have experience in helping people manage their struggles with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, and more. I have experience working with folks who identify as neurodivergent and am an ally for the LGBTQ+ community.
With me, you can trust you’re being heard and that we’re working together to meet your needs. My standard appointments are longer than typical, in order to have plenty of time together to build trust, ask/answer questions, and make a collaborative plan. I look forward to getting to know you and working together to meet your mental health goals.

Hi! First off, thank you for taking the first steps towards healing and learning more about yourself. It is an incredibly big and terrifying decision, but I’m glad you’re here and we will hear you out. My main goal is to guide you in managing your medications along with research and evidence-based practices. Ultimately, you do know your body best and as your provider, I will actively listen to your concerns without any judgment and work on a holistic treatment plan with you, even if that may mean no medications at this time.
I started off as a nurse during the COVID pandemic, working on various units including medical/surgery, cardiac, COVID units, and ICU step-down. Since graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in 2023 and as a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I hope to always keep learning and to find ways to help decrease the mental health stigma seen in our world. I have grown a particular interest in working with the neurodiverse community and learning more about other common co-occurring conditions.
I would be honored to support you on your mental health journey and if not, I hope we can find you a great fit in our clinic! 🙂

Goodness can life be hard! While knowing that each of us experience difficulties in different ways throughout our lives, a few things that I believe can buffer some of life’s challenges include kindness, relationship, and self-care. I am glad that you are here seeking support, and I would be honored to be a part of your support system if that feels helpful. My primary role is to discuss and prescribe medications that may support you physiologically and therefore emotionally. The decision is yours as to whether this approach feels helpful in your course of treatment. It would be a privilege to walk alongside you.
A little bit about my professional background:
I worked as a RN for 21 years prior to completing my Master of Science in Nursing program through the University of Colorado. As a RN, I worked in a variety of community health and psychiatric settings (both inpatient and outpatient), including employment at Childrens Hospital Colorado, Aurora Public Schools, a non-profit providing in-home visits to pregnant/newly parenting moms, and as a hospice assessment nurse. One of my favorite employment experiences was serving as nursing faculty at a local university. Being an educator was incredibly life-giving and meaningful for me. In 2006, I obtained my Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology, which has added additional expertise to my work as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner.
I am passionate about social justice, issues of equity, and advocating for minority, underserved populations. People know me to be warm, kind, and compassionate, qualities that are incredibly important to me in my work and relationships. It would be an honor to support you. Please reach out with any questions.

I offer individual, relationship, and family therapy. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, parents, and relationships. I work from an anti-racist, anti-colonial, sex-positive, health at every size, poly, queer, and trans-affirming perspective. I believe in the power of community and safety. I believe that telling our story allows us to explore our values, connect with our emotions, create meaning, and get a deeper understanding of “self”, to create connection and healing.
Poly-Affirming: No matter your ENM structure, we can work together to identify conflict cycles, develop healthy boundaries, and create secure connections.
Neuro Diverse -Affirming: My approach consists of working with your brain instead of against it. When working with families I believe in deepening everyone’s understanding of each other to create space for healing
I want to work collaboratively and transparently with you so that we can create space to deconstruct the colonized ideologies that keep us feeling limited. I hope in our time together we can build deep and meaningful connections that create stronger relationships with ourselves and others.

Gail Kobylinski is our administrative extraordinaire! She’s often the first friendly voice (or email) you’ll encounter at The Courage Clinic, ready to welcome you and support you throughout your time with us.
Gail helps guide patients and clients through the intake process, making sure everyone is prepared for their first appointment. She also keeps things running smoothly by handling scheduling, insurance, and countless behind-the-scenes details. On top of that, she supports our providers so they can focus fully on caring for clients—and she does it all with warmth, care, and a wicked sense of humor.
Simply put, The Courage Clinic couldn’t function without Gail. She truly is great!
When she’s not working hard, Gail is relaxing hard-usually curled up on the couch with her pooch, a cozy blanket, and a good movie. She also enjoys breathing new life into old pieces and spending time outdoors with her husband and dog.
