About Carrie Karr

Carrie Karr is a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner at Axis Integrated Mental Health. She earned a master's degree in nursing from Walden University and a bachelor's degree in nursing from the University of Colorado Denver. Before she became a prescriber, she spent over ten years as a nurse and clinical manager in hospital psychiatric units.

She has worked in psychiatric care settings since 2010. She served as Clinical Nurse Manager at AdventHealth Porter, where she helped start and lead the hospital's TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) unit. At Jefferson Center for Mental Health, she was the main provider for a community walk-in clinic for substance use.

Her care includes medication management for depression, anxiety and mood disorders. She also treats dual diagnosis, which means mental health and substance use conditions that happen together. She works with adults and sees patients in person or by telehealth.

She says her approach centers on continuous improvement, with care plans that change based on how the patient responds. She asks about sleep, nutrition, and any supplements or herbs that could interact with medicines. She has advanced training in herbal therapeutics from the Rocky Mountain Center for Botanical Studies.
