Joanna Smith, MSN, APRN-CNP, AGNP-BC, PMHNP-BC

Joanna completed her training at South University in 2017, earning her Master of

Science in Nursing degree, specializing in Adult-Gerontology. She later attended

Regis College, graduating in 2019 and earning another MSN specializing as a

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. She then founded Sunlight Solutions and Wellness

in 2019 to create the kind of practice she wished more patients had access to: one

that prioritizes relationship, clinical judgment, and individualized care.

Her clinical interests include anxiety disorders, mood disorders, ADHD, OCD, and

women’s mental health. She works with adults and children seeking comprehensive

psychiatric care, whether that involves medication management alone or an

integrated approach that includes psychotherapy when appropriate.

Joanna practices evidence-based psychiatry with a thoughtful, whole-person lens.

When clinically indicated, she integrates attention to sleep, nutrition, lifestyle, and

mind-body factors alongside medication management, always tailoring treatment

to the individual rather than a formula.

Above all, Joanna values the patient-provider relationship and strives to create a

space where patients feel safe, supported, and empowered throughout their care.
