Danielle Griffin, MSNc, APRN, PMHNP-BC

Danielle, a psychiatric nurse practitioner at Alleviant’s Bentonville location, became an RN in 2015, earning her BSN from Chamberlain University in 2019 and MSN from Walden University in 2022.

Her interest in mental health grew while working as a nurse, and a close friend’s suicide attempt in 2016 motivated her to enter the field. “After experiencing postpartum anxiety, I realized I wanted to help other women facing similar struggles.”

She was drawn to Alleviant’s holistic approach and alternative treatments like TMS and Spravato. “It’s great for people to have more options in their mental health care.”

Danielle finds the most joy in building therapeutic relationships and seeing her patients’ mental health improve over time. Known for being validating, nonjudgmental, and encouraging, she feels grateful to make a difference.

Originally from Jonesboro, Arkansas, she moved to Little Rock in 2012 and then northwest Arkansas in 2022 for her first role as a psychiatric nurse practitioner. She is married, has a daughter, and a yorkie-schnauzer mix named Link.

Outside work, Danielle enjoys reading, playing video games, spending time with family, and attending concerts and musicals in northwest Arkansas.
