Kassandra Ransom, PMNHP

Kassandra is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. PMHNPs are trained specifically in psychiatric diagnosis and medication management, using conventional pharmacology as a primary tool alongside a holistic understanding of a client's psychological, biological, and social needs.
 

Her approach may include:

  • Comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and diagnosis

  • Medication management for conditions like depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and more

  • Ongoing monitoring and adjustment of psychiatric medications

  • Coordination with your therapist for integrated care
     

Kassandra may be a good fit if you:

  • Have moderate-to-severe symptoms that are significantly impacting daily life

  • Have a diagnosed condition (like bipolar disorder or ADHD) that typically benefits from medication management

  • Want a provider whose primary focus is psychiatric medication

  • Are already taking psychiatric medication and need ongoing management or adjustment

Dr. Kaitlynn Bronte, ND

Dr. Bronte approaches mental health through a naturopathic lens: treating the whole person, not just the symptom. Naturopathic medicine looks at how nutrition, sleep, movement, gut health, hormones, and lifestyle factors interact with mood, anxiety, and stress — and often starts by addressing those foundations before introducing pharmaceutical medication.
 

Her approach may include:

  • Nutritional and lifestyle assessment

  • Botanical and supplement-based support

  • Addressing underlying physical contributors to mental health symptoms (thyroid, hormones, nutrient deficiencies, etc.)

  • Collaborative planning that may still include conventional medication when appropriate
     

Oregon naturopathic physicians hold one of the broadest prescriptive scopes of any state — Dr. Bronte is licensed to prescribe most pharmaceutical medications when clinically indicated. The distinction isn't "medication vs. no medication" — it's where she starts and how she builds a treatment plan. 
 

Dr. Bronte may be a good fit if you:

  • Want to explore nutrition-, lifestyle-, or supplement-based approaches before considering medication

  • Have mild-to-moderate symptoms and want a more gradual, whole-body approach

  • Are curious whether physical health factors (sleep, gut health, hormones) may be contributing to how you feel

  • Feel hesitant about medication and want a provider who will walk through non-pharmaceutical options first

About Us

At Health Allies Counseling, our team of therapists represents a diverse array of backgrounds, cultures, beliefs, interests, and training, with a common goal of serving Oregonians looking for a partner in their health. We serve individuals from families of all kinds and incorporate approaches that recognize the importance of addressing the interconnection of body, mind and soul.  We are available online throughout Oregon, and in person at our offices in SE Portland.

​

We are committed to providing an inclusive and safe space for healing and consider ourselves an LGBTQIA+ focused, trans-affirming, anti-racist, and progressive leaning practice. In addition to our LGBTQIA+ focus, we operate from a social justice lens and stand also with People of Color and immigrants. While our therapists are affirming and each have their own interests, specialties, approaches and focus, our practice was founded by Tiffany Kettermann, LPC, LMHC, CADCI, who began with a focus on healing for marginalized people affected by trauma, narcissistic abuse, drug and alcohol use, and domestic violence.  You will still find therapists here passionate about supporting people affected by these issues. We are currently providing teletherapy and in person services.  Welcome! Come on in!
