Providers / Jolyn Allen MSN, PMHNP-BC

My name is Jolyn Allen, MSN, APRN, PMHNP, and I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner at Prime Psychiatry, located in Frisco, Texas. My mission is to help patients achieve an improved outlook and quality of life. 

I obtained my Master of Science in Nursing degree from the University of Texas at Arlington, where I received the Ella Kate and Wallace Ralston graduate nursing scholarship award. 

At Prime Psychiatry, I complete thorough psychiatric evaluations in order to diagnose and then partner with my patients to formulate an individualized treatment plan. I have worked in various practice settings, including inpatient, residential treatment, community health, private practice, and nursing homes.

I combine psychopharmacology along with psychotherapy and self-care strategies, and prescription medications when indicated, for all psychiatric disorders as well as substance abuse problems. Considerations for medication intervention are made based on clinical evidence, the patient's health history, prior treatment, and coexisting medical conditions.

I understand that addressing mental health issues can be daunting, and I enjoy helping patients and families navigate them by offering proper education, treatment, and guidance.  

I look forward to partnering with new and existing patients at Prime Psychiatry.
