CAMERON OWENS, PMHNP

Cameron Owens is a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner licensed in Virginia. He brings a strong background in both medical and psychiatric care, shaped by years of service in high-pressure clinical environments and a deep commitment to helping clients function at their best.

Mr. Owens began his medical career in the U.S. Army, serving first as a combat medic and later as a flight medic. During a yearlong deployment to Afghanistan, he provided close medical support to an infantry platoon at a combat outpost, caring for U.S. service members, allied Afghan forces, and members of the local population. This experience gave him a firsthand understanding of the unique stressors faced by active-duty service members and veterans, and he finds it especially meaningful to work with this population.

After being honorably discharged from the Army, Mr. Owens pursued nursing and began his civilian clinical career in the Intensive Care Unit. His ICU experience became the foundation for his transition into psychiatric nursing, giving him a strong appreciation for the ways physical health, medical complexity, and mental health are deeply connected.

Mr. Owens has spent six years working in inpatient settings with both medical and mental health populations. He has experience treating a wide range of psychiatric conditions and symptoms, and he welcomes the opportunity to work with clients whose needs are complex or treatment-resistant. His approach is personalized, practical, and collaborative, with a focus on equipping clients with the knowledge, support, and treatment tools they need to improve their lives and contribute positively to their communities.

In practice, Mr. Owens uses a range of treatment options, including medication management, lifestyle interventions, brief therapy, and pharmacogenetic testing to help identify medications that may be most effective for each client.

Mr. Owens is particularly skilled in working with clients experiencing treatment-resistant bipolar disorder, depression, attention-deficit disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
