Welcome to Dr. Joseph M. Sharpe's Psychiatry Practice
At Dr. Joseph M. Sharpe's Psychiatry Practice in Nashville, TN, we offer comprehensive psychiatric care in a comfortable, non-threatening, and non-judgmental environment. As a board-certified psychiatrist, I believe that every patient deserves an individualized treatment plan tailored to their unique needs. I provide therapy and medication management for a wide range of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, bipolar spectrum illnesses, obsessive-compulsive disorders, attention deficit disorders, and sleeping disorders.
Our Services
Our services include psychiatry, psychotherapy, and medication management. Every patient starts with an initial 60-minute evaluation, where we establish individual patient needs and treatment goals. After the initial evaluation, follow-up appointments are scheduled for 15-minute medication management only or 30-45 minute medication management plus psychotherapy, depending on individual patient needs. We also collaborate with your current primary care provider and/or therapist to ensure seamless and complete mental health treatment.
Our Approach
I use the biological-psychological-social-spiritual model, which considers all elements when formulating the best treatment plan. Therapy can take many forms, including psychotherapy, counseling, and medication management. I believe that every person deserves a full evaluation and treatment specific to their needs. You will be treated like a person, not a 'unit of healthcare.' You will not be rushed through; instead, you will be listened to, and an appropriate level of treatment will be implemented.
About Dr. Joseph M. Sharpe
I graduated from the University of Tennessee, Memphis medical school in 1999 and then continued my training in psychiatry at Duke University, where I served as chief resident of the Duke Inpatient service. I am now an outpatient psychiatrist practicing in my own clinic. In addition to my private practice, I am the psychiatric medical director for St. Thomas West and Midtown, and the chief medical officer for Ascension St. Thomas Behavioral Health Hospital. I have been a private practicing psychiatrist in Nashville for over 20 years, and I believe in treating people like I would want to be treated.
