Danell Bjornson
Co-Owner, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
For the past several years Danell has been treating adults and children with a variety of psychiatric issues in an outpatient mental health clinic.

A commitment to helping clients obtain a comprehensive evaluation, accurate diagnosis, and evidence-based care led her to co-found Northwest ADHD Treatment Center.
