Meet Our Team

Angela Peters is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Founder of the Northern Lights Mood Institute, where her clinical practice is dedicated exclusively to interventional psychiatry and difficult-to-treat mood disorders.

Angela specializes in working with individuals experiencing treatment-resistant depression and persistent mood symptoms, including patients with co-occurring conditions such as anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Her interventional services include NeuroStar® Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), SPRAVATO® (esketamine), and ketamine injections and infusions.

With nearly three decades of healthcare experience, Angela brings a broad clinical perspective to patients who have often already tried multiple medications, psychotherapy, or other treatments without achieving adequate symptom relief. Her approach begins with a comprehensive review of each patient's treatment history, current symptoms, medical considerations, and goals to determine which interventional options may be appropriate.

Angela believes interventional psychiatry works best as part of a collaborative treatment model. Patients may continue medication management and psychotherapy with their established providers while Angela focuses specifically on their interventional treatment. She welcomes collaboration with psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, therapists, primary care providers, and other members of the patient's healthcare team.

Currently completing her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree, Angela's scholarly work focuses on treatment-resistant depression, measurement-based care, and earlier identification of inadequate treatment response. She remains actively engaged in advances in interventional psychiatry and emerging treatments that may expand options for patients who have not found sufficient relief through traditional approaches. She has been featured in America's Best in Medicine 2026 and is listed as a featured provider on WebMD, reflecting her commitment to providing high-quality, evidence-based patient care.

Alexandra is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 20 years of experience in healthcare, including extensive experience in acute inpatient psychiatric care. Her background caring for individuals during some of their most vulnerable and challenging moments has shaped her compassionate, thorough, and evidence-based approach to outpatient psychiatric treatment.

Alexandra provides comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, medication management, and ongoing treatment for adults experiencing a broad range of mental health conditions. Her areas of care include depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar and other mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma and PTSD, sleep-related concerns, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, personality disorders, and co-occurring psychiatric conditions.

Her experience in acute psychiatric settings gives Alexandra a strong foundation in evaluating complex presentations, managing multiple diagnoses, assessing changes in symptoms and functioning, and helping patients transition toward greater stability and long-term wellness.

Alexandra believes effective psychiatric care begins with listening. She works collaboratively with each patient to understand not only their symptoms, but also their treatment history, medical needs, relationships, daily functioning, and personal goals. Treatment plans are individualized and may include medication management, patient education, supportive interventions, and coordination with therapists, primary care providers, specialists, and other members of the patient's healthcare team.

With a calm, approachable, and nonjudgmental style, Alexandra strives to create a space where patients feel comfortable discussing their concerns and actively participating in treatment. Her goal is to provide thoughtful, consistent psychiatric care that supports symptom improvement, stability, functioning, and overall quality of life.

Natalie brings extensive clinical experience and a deep commitment to trauma-informed, affirming, and individualized mental health care. She specializes in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, complex trauma, personality disorders, gender dysphoria, substance use concerns, and other complex emotional and behavioral health challenges.

Natalie has a particular interest in trauma and understands the profound ways that past experiences can influence emotional regulation, relationships, identity, self-perception, and overall well-being. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-II), she incorporates advanced trauma-informed principles into her work and creates an environment centered on safety, trust, collaboration, and respect.

Her clinical work includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and other evidence-based, trauma-focused approaches. Treatment is individualized to each patient's experiences, needs, readiness, and therapeutic goals rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.

Natalie also has a special interest in supporting neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and autism. She recognizes that neurodiversity can influence communication, sensory processing, executive functioning, emotional regulation, relationships, and an individual's experience with traditional mental health treatment. Her approach is affirming and strengths-based, focusing on understanding and supporting the individual rather than expecting them to conform to a standardized model of care.

Natalie is comfortable working with personality disorders and complex clinical presentations and approaches these diagnoses with compassion and without stigma. She considers the whole person — including trauma history, relationships, identity, neurodiversity, substance use, life experiences, and individual strengths — when developing treatment goals.

Above all, Natalie creates a safe and nonjudgmental space where patients can feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. Her goal is to help individuals develop greater self-understanding, process difficult experiences, strengthen coping and emotional regulation skills, and move toward meaningful healing and growth.

Kat brings a unique blend of clinical expertise, creativity, and somatic awareness to her work with patients. As a licensed mental health counselor, master licensed alcohol and drug counselor, and registered dance/movement therapist, she takes a holistic, body-centered approach to mental health — helping patients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, physical experiences, relationships, and everyday lives.

Kat works primarily with adults and older adults and has experience supporting individuals experiencing substance use concerns, ADHD, chronic stress, anxiety, and other emotional and behavioral health challenges. She also has a special interest in men's mental health, recognizing that men may experience or express depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and emotional distress differently and may face unique barriers to seeking support.

Additional areas of clinical interest include work-life balance, burnout, major life transitions, loss, and grief. Kat helps patients navigate the demands of careers, relationships, family responsibilities, caregiving, and personal well-being while developing healthier boundaries and sustainable coping strategies.

Her background in dance/movement therapy allows her to incorporate somatic and body-based perspectives when appropriate, particularly for patients who may benefit from approaches that extend beyond traditional talk therapy. Movement is never required; rather, Kat draws upon an understanding of the mind-body connection to help patients develop greater awareness, emotional regulation, and meaningful coping skills.

Kat creates a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment where patients can feel comfortable being themselves. Her goal is to help each person better understand their experiences, reconnect with their strengths, and develop practical skills that support meaningful and lasting growth.

Katia is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and individualized psychiatric care. She has a special interest in working with children and adolescents, as well as individuals and families from underserved communities who may experience barriers to accessing mental health services.

Her diverse clinical background includes psychiatric, critical, emergency and acute care, correctional healthcare, and work within community shelters. Her experience caring for individuals in correctional and community-based settings has given her a strong appreciation for the impact that trauma, socioeconomic challenges, housing instability, limited access to healthcare, and other life circumstances can have on mental health and overall well-being.

Katia provides psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, medication management, and ongoing treatment for children, adolescents, and adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, trauma and PTSD, schizophrenia-spectrum disorders, behavioral concerns, and other psychiatric conditions.

She takes a collaborative and patient-centered approach to care, taking time to understand each person's symptoms as well as their family, developmental, cultural, and life experiences. When working with younger patients, Katia values collaboration with parents, caregivers, schools, therapists, and other members of the child's treatment team when appropriate.

Katia is passionate about creating an environment where patients feel heard, respected, and comfortable participating in their care — particularly children, adolescents, and individuals who have historically faced challenges obtaining consistent mental health treatment.

She is licensed as an APRN in New Hampshire and board certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
