Timothy Wheaton
Tim is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 18 years of experience in nursing and advanced psychiatric care. His clinical focus includes mood and anxiety disorders, trauma-related conditions, and treatment-resistant depression.
Tim approaches psychiatric care with a belief that healing is most effective when it honors the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Guided by faith and compassion, he values thoughtful, evidence-based care that considers biological, psychological, and lifestyle factors. Tim strives to create a respectful, collaborative space where patients feel supported, understood, and empowered in their treatment journey.
At NeuroSpa, Tim provides both medication management and interventional psychiatric treatments, including IV ketamine infusions and Spravato®. He believes in incorporating principles of functional psychiatry to address contributing biological, lifestyle, and psychosocial factors that impact mental health.
In addition to his clinical work, Tim serves as a university nursing professor teaching undergraduate psychiatric nursing, which continually informs and strengthens his practice. He values a collaborative, patient-centered approach and believes meaningful progress begins with trust, education, and meeting patients where they are. His goal is to help individuals understand their treatment options and support lasting improvement through thoughtful, evidence-based, and compassionate care.
Outside of clinical practice, his interests include functional psychiatry, swimming, cycling, spending time with family, and being outdoors—especially at the beach. Tim believes these pursuits help ground his work and reinforce the importance of balance, resilience, and connection in overall mental well-being.
