Come growwith us.
Bloom is a boutique outpatient psychiatric practice in East Nashville, rooted in women’s health. Women’s mental health is our specialty. We are building a small team of clinicians who share that interest and practice the way we do, and we precept the psychiatric nurse practitioner students who will come next.
Where we are headed.
Bloom Psychiatry envisions being the trusted destination for women’s mental health, providing expert, evidence-based medication management that helps patients achieve lasting stability, balance and well-being, because every patient deserves to bloom into their best.
Bloom has cared for patients in Nashville since 2017, built entirely on referrals and word of mouth. We grew because of how we practice: unhurried evaluations, careful diagnosis, honest education and follow-up that actually follows up.
Practicing at Bloom
Time to do the work well
Sixty-minute evaluations and 30-minute follow-ups, in person in East Nashville or by telehealth.
A clinical lens worth learning
Reproductive and hormonal context across the female lifespan, diagnostic clarification and thoughtful medication decisions, with a colleague to think it through with.
Room to grow
Mary Lauren was once Dr. Hansen’s student. Mentorship is not an afterthought here; it is how the practice was built.
The kind of clinician who fits here.
- Board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC), or board-eligible and finishing soon
- Licensed, or eligible for licensure, as an APRN in Tennessee
- Holds, or is eligible for, a DEA registration
- Committed to evidence-based practice and careful diagnostic reasoning
- Warm, direct and comfortable explaining your thinking to patients
- A real interest in women’s mental health; it is the heart of this practice and what our patients come to us for

Precepting the next psychiatric providers.
Dr. Hansen precepts psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner students. It is how she met Mary Lauren, and it is some of the most rewarding work she does.
What you will see
Comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, diagnostic clarification and ongoing medication management, with patients across the lifespan.
The women’s health lens
Perinatal mental health, premenstrual and postpartum mood symptoms, perimenopause and hormone therapy: clinical territory most students never get to see.
How you will learn
You will present, we will think out loud together, and you will leave understanding not just what we chose but why.
What we ask
Professionalism with our patients and staff, preparation before clinic, and a signed affiliation agreement between your school and Bloom before your first day.
How to ask about precepting.
We take a limited number of students each term, so reach out at least one semester ahead.
