Welcome to Summit Ridge Psychiatry, a place where your mental well-being is our priority. I am Dean Cochran, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, dedicated to supporting individuals aged 13 to 70 through their mental health journey. At my practice, I offer comprehensive mental health evaluations and craft personalized treatment plans that may include medication management and therapeutic techniques with a foundation in cognitive behavioral therapy.
My professional approach is deeply rooted in empathy, respect, kindness, and understanding. I leverage my extensive clinical experiences and the latest evidence-based practices, always considering your unique needs and preferences to help you achieve optimal mental health and well-being. I am particularly passionate about assisting those who have been marginalized, disadvantaged, or disparaged, believing firmly that everyone deserves to feel valued and heard.
Outside of my practice, I reside in the Fairview/McKinney, Texas area, with my wife and our five children. We are foster parents, having welcomed four placements into our home, including newborn twins since May 2023. We were blessed to officially adopt them on November 23, 2024!
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and support you in reaching your mental health goals. I hope to meet you soon!
