About
As a woman of color, I understand the stigma and generational pressure to keep mental health struggles private, and my goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and empowered to heal openly and at your own pace.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 3 years of experience providing evidence-based, person-centered care. I work with adults and young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, and life transitions. I partner with clients to thoughtfully integrate medication management with education and collaborative support to promote emotional stability and meaningful progress.
I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice from Clemson University. My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and grounded in evidence-based practice. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, individualized treatment planning, and medication education with a focus on safety, transparency, and shared decision-making.
Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate it alone. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and respected. Together, we will develop a personalized plan to help you feel more balanced, confident, and supported as you move forward.

My approach is collaborative, supportive, and patient-centered so my main goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and empowered.
I'm a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with experience in both medical and mental health care, including HIV care. I take a holistic, patient-centered approach and work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and stress. I also support individuals navigating life transitions, chronic conditions, and identity-related challenges, and strive to create an inclusive, supportive environment for all.
I focus on creating a "brave space" where you feel safe, respected, and empowered to share openly. Together, we'll identify your goals and begin developing a personalized plan that supports your mental and emotional well-being. My goal is that you leave your session feeling heard, supported, and confident in the direction we're taking together.
You don't have to have everything figured out before getting support. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you feel heard, and work with you to create a plan that feels right for you. When you're ready, I'd be honored to work with you.

I believe in creating a compassionate, judgment-free space where I partner with clients to support healing, resilience, and meaningful progress toward emotional wellness.
My name is Tamekia Ruff, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to evidence-based mental health care. I have experience working with adolescents and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma, stress-related concerns, and life transitions. I work with individuals seeking clarity, emotional balance, improved coping skills, and support navigating personal, academic, or professional challenges. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered in their mental wellness journey.
My approach to care is collaborative, supportive, and individualized to each client's unique needs and goals. I combine evidence-based treatment, thoughtful medication management, and therapeutic support to help clients understand their mental health. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable and involved in their care.
I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate life's challenges alone. Healing and growth are possible, and taking the first step toward care is a meaningful act of strength and self-investment. I welcome the opportunity to work alongside you toward a healthier, more balanced, and fulfilling life.

As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I combine my deep respect for the biological complexities of the brain with a compassionate, person-centered approach, ensuring you feel truly heard as we navigate your path toward mental wellness together.
I am Atrevia Brown, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to providing evidence-based, compassionate psychiatric care. I typically partner with individuals navigating the heavy burdens of anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, as well as insomnia—and those seeking clarity and stability while managing mood disorders. My clients are looking for a safe, non-judgmental space where they can build emotional resilience, balance their symptoms through thoughtful medication management, and move from getting by to truly thriving in their personal and professional lives.
My approach is rooted in integrative psychiatry—combining precise medication management with a deep focus on the mind-body connection. Rather than just treating symptoms, I look at the whole person: how lifestyle, environment, and biology intersect. When you work with me, you can expect a collaborative, transparent partnership where your voice leads.
Taking the first step toward mental wellness is an act of profound courage, and you don't have to carry that weight alone. No matter how overwhelming things feel right now, there is a path forward filled with hope and healing. I invite you to reach out and schedule a consultation so we can begin reclaiming your peace and building the life you envision.

My go-to approach for helping people in our medication check-ins is making sure that you are aware and comfortable with the treatment plan. I strive to answer any questions and address any concerns before we finalize your plan.
I firmly believe that medication and therapy go hand-in-hand. I try to make sure that any medication changes will enhance your ability to fully participate in therapy.
I know that my clients are making meaningful progress when they tell me that they are engaging in activities they used to enjoy, whether that it is spending time with friends and family or participating in their hobbies.
I always encourage clients to practice learned coping strategies to build confidence in their use of their skills. I also encourage my clients to try to get outside and in nature for a little bit each day.
To prepare for their first visit, I would encourage clients to check out their provider's profile on the Thriveworks website. I would also encourage you to compile a list of any previously trialed medications.
Yes, we offer comprehensive psychiatric services to meet your mental health needs.
Psychiatry allows people struggling to manage mental conditions or disorders to get access to medications that will make daily functioning easier, as well as work through any mental factors that might be causing or worsening their condition. Though medications can’t cure mental disorders, medication can make symptoms more manageable, making the process of psychotherapeutic treatment easier and more effective. Psychiatric care can be available through in-person psychiatry and online psychiatry, depending on where you live and your own preferences. However, psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in Greenville, SC specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.
A therapist has an education specifically rooted in therapeutic practice, approaches, techniques, and treatment. They cannot prescribe medications for clients, though they often refer clients to psychiatrists for medication management. Psychiatrists are medically trained doctors who specialize in mental health treatment, mainly through medication management and prescription, though they can also practice therapy.
A Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a highly trained and licensed professional who specializes in mental health care. They are qualified to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, prescribe medications, and provide therapy. Psychiatric NPs at Thriveworks are qualified to prescribe medications for a variety of mental health conditions. They work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.
Oftentimes, psychiatrists or psychiatric professionals will perform a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, which involves an in-depth discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. Once they reach a diagnosis, they may suggest starting certain medications depending on your condition and the intensity of your symptoms.
Yes. At Thriveworks, we offer online-only psychiatry services for optimal comfort and convenience.
Psychiatric services at Thriveworks Greenville can last for as little or as much time as the client needs to reach their treatment goals, whether that be a month or two or over the course of a year. Treatment length is heavily dependent on the condition(s) being treated, the course of treatment, and the client’s goals for treatment.
Psychiatrists are mental health professionals who can prescribe anxiety medication and provide therapeutic treatment for anxiety, although not all psychiatrists offer therapy. At Thriveworks, medication management occurs via online psychiatry sessions.
Yes, Thriveworks accepts most major insurance plans. We strive to make mental health care accessible and affordable for everyone.
Counseling for mental health concerns, such as depression and anxiety, is very effective and many people benefit greatly from meeting with a licensed professional therapist to improve the quality of their lives. For some people, the combination of medication management with counseling has proven to be helpful. In the same way that diet and exercise has helped many people lower their blood pressure or manage their diabetes, medication management has helped people stabilize their mood, increase focus, and treat symptoms of depression. Simply put, it can help increase the benefits of mental health therapy.
