Claire Hinkle

I’m Claire Hinkle, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and transgender woman. I’m passionate about providing compassionate, inclusive, and affirming psychiatric care, particularly for LGBTQIA2S+ individuals and others who may have experienced barriers to feeling understood or respected in healthcare settings. I provide psychiatric care to children, adolescents, and adults with a variety of mental health concerns. My approach is collaborative and individualized, with an emphasis on listening to each person’s concerns, understanding their goals, and developing a treatment plan that reflects their individual needs. Through Summit Mind Psychiatry, I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and ongoing psychiatric care through telehealth. I strive to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where patients of all identities and backgrounds can feel comfortable being themselves and actively participating in their care. My goal is simple: for every patient to feel heard, respected, and supported while receiving thoughtful, evidence-based psychiatric care.
