Really listens and provides excellent quality of care
Great Dr, listens and has great insights.
I’m Shannon—an integrative, board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a passion for helping people reconnect with their wholeness. I specialize in trauma-informed care, holistic mental health, and consciousness-based healing, combining deep clinical training with a belief that mental health is about more than just managing symptoms—it's about reclaiming your agency, vitality, and ability to thrive.
I hold a Master’s degree from Hunter College, completed clinical rotations at Bellevue Hospital, and earned my undergraduate degree from Maharishi International University, where meditation and consciousness were part of daily life. I’ve worked in both traditional hospital settings like New York Presbyterian and in innovative mental health environments including Mindbloom, where I provided at-home ketamine-assisted care. I now lead Floresta Retreat, a company I founded to help others access deeper transformation through consciousness-based retreats and advanced healing modalities.
Clients often say I bring a sense of safety, creativity, and nonjudgmental presence to our work together. I’m deeply curious about how trauma, identity, and awareness shape the human experience—and I integrate tools from somatic energy release, functional medicine, and spiritual psychology to help people move beyond anxiety, depression, and burnout.
Outside of sessions, I’m probably hiking Colorado’s mountains, dancing, writing, or building new ways to bring healing and innovation together. I’m currently writing a book called The Mind Lies: Moving Beyond Anxiety and Depression and facilitating groups that explore personal growth through unconventional but deeply effective practices.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, questioning your purpose, or simply ready to explore what else is possible—I’m here to support your journey with curiosity, truth, and compassion.

Really listens and provides excellent quality of care
Great Dr, listens and has great insights.
Kara is so kind and genuinely cares about me and the things that make me happy. Thank you!
Kara is the kindest, most attentive, and understanding provider I’ve ever worked with. Her professionalism, and knowledge base is unmatched. Truly the best!
Ashley is amazing..... highly recommend!
Every visit helps. Kara helps me confirm my decisions. She has assured me she will help me in locating a new physician and therapist. My anxiety level is down. She understands my condition and why. My upcoming move will get me active again which I need. Suddenly I have lots of work to do. Kara, thank you for your caring and insight! Your good!
Ashley has been understanding and compassionate.
Dr Gaumond makes me feel heard, cared about and offers amazing knowledge. She's helped me get back to a healthy place that I haven't felt in a long time and I can't thank her enough.
Very kind. Appreciate her thoughtfulness.
Courtney listens & empathizes with the perfect balance of professionalism and care. We talked about a multitude of events & I felt comfortable opening up in a way I never have before. It was a safe non- judgemental space. Courtney is incredible.
Dr. Thacker is awesome.
Courtney is very caring and will listen to me yammer on and go off on tangents for an hour. Or if I'm not in a manic state, asks questions to get the conversation stared.
Ashley was very professional, receptive, and engaging. She made me feel heard and provided the proper medical support that I needed.
Kind, understanding, professional and efficient. Kara is awesome!
Good doctor helping me too continue my journey with Provato and heal.
It's too soon to rate. I liked him.
I’m so glad I met her. She understands where I’m at. She is real.
Awesome provider who always listens to me and respects my care goals
I’m very pleased with the therapy sessions as Kara has a good grasp of my worries, troubles and concerns. She understands that my haunting mental history is something I’m still struggling with. She is helping me look forward and has pointed out some options I have and some decisions I need to commit to in the near future. Medication has relieved my anxiety and allowed me to focus on one task at a time.
MS.Kara is the best!
McKenna is a wonderful practitioner. She is extremely personable & empathetic. In all the years I have sought mental health services, this is the first time I have felt entirely heard. I also love how evidence based her decision making is, she is exceptionally knowledgeable.
Dr. Thacker has been absolutely amazing! He takes the time to listen to you, and gives honest feed back. He’s wonderful about following up with prior conversations, I know he makes notes but it feels reassuring.
Excellent service. She always listens to m. She's very caring and helpful.
Kara is incredible! She has been a valuable asset to my healing.
Dr Thacker is respectful and attentive to my care. I feel as if I can trust him with most aspects of my life. I would highly recommend Dr Thacker to anyone seeking professional care.
Very understanding of my concerns and willing to help in whichever ways are necessary. Makes you feel very comfortable.
Kara was kind, understanding and easy to talk to.
