Anne Simmons, PMHNP-BC

I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner, providing psychiatric assessment and medication management with an integrative approach.

Hi, I’m Anne Simmons, DNP, APRN, FNP‑BC, PMHNP‑BC, AMB‑BC, CNE – a dual-certified Family and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience in nursing and a deep passion for integrative mental wellness. I’m the founder of Hope in Motion – Integrative Psychiatric Wellness, a virtual practice committed to providing personalized, compassionate, and evidence-based care to individuals and families across Illinois.

My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and whole-person care. I work with teens, adults, and parents to navigate challenges related to ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, PMDD, and sleep disturbances. I also specialize in supporting women through perimenopause, veterans and their families with culturally competent care, and individuals seeking sustainable weight management solutions.

As a provider, I don’t just treat symptoms—I listen closely, explore root causes, and build treatment plans that fit your life. Whether you’re navigating a new diagnosis or feeling stuck after trying multiple medications, I will meet you with curiosity, honesty, and hope. Together, we’ll use tools like medication management, lifestyle support, therapy collaboration, and structured follow-ups to create meaningful change.

I believe mental health care should feel accessible, empowering, and deeply human. My clients appreciate my transparent communication style, nonjudgmental presence, and ability to translate complex information into clear, actionable steps. If you’re overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure where to start, you’re in the right place.

Let’s get you unstuck—because progress starts with Hope. :)
