Meet the Team
Alicia Sader, PMHMP-BC, MSN, FNP
Founder & Lead Practitioner
Alicia Sader, PMHMP
Alicia Sader is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a deep passion for helping people navigate their mental health journeys. With over two decades of nursing experience, she has worked in some of the country’s top medical institutions—including Cedars-Sinai, Johns Hopkins, and Stanford—before bringing her expertise back home to Kansas.
Alicia’s approach to mental health care is rooted in connection, compassion, and understanding. She provides psychiatric evaluations and medication management for conditions like depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, insomnia, OCD, and PTSD. She especially enjoys working with school-aged children and adolescents, helping young people and their families find balance and clarity in life’s challenges.
She believes that everyone’s story is unique, and she takes the time to listen, creating a space where patients feel truly heard and supported. Her commitment to inclusivity means that people from all backgrounds—including LGBTQ+ individuals—can find care that respects and honors their experiences.
Alicia finds immense fulfillment in seeing the positive transformations that occur when patients receive the right treatment. She is particularly inspired by the life-changing effects of Spravato for treatment-resistant depression, witnessing firsthand how it helps clients regain hope, energy, and a renewed sense of self.
For Alicia, mental health care is about more than just treatment—it’s about empowerment. She feels privileged to walk alongside her patients as they work toward greater peace, confidence, and fulfillment.
