Alex Vestman
MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC
Nurse Practitioner
My mission is to provide exceptional care for those with common and more complex mental health struggles. While I am well-versed in all aspects of mental health needs, I specialize in perinatal mood disorders (including postpartum disorders in men and women) and substance use disorders.
I am a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of common and complex disorders. My goal is to provide compassionate care that is affordable and accessible to all.
My background in psych started in 2002 as a mental health worker in a state facility. I have progressed as a registered nurse in labor and delivery and a PMHNP-BC with a focus on women’s health. I have gained experience through many different avenues and situations. I look forward to exploring how I can serve you. Alex currently lives in Post Falls with her husband and two daughters. She enjoys any activity outdoors in all seasons and spending time with family.

Nurse Practitioner
Jared Bruder is a licensed Nurse Practitioner currently specializing in family practice. He is board certified with the ANCC, and is also experienced in geriatric medicine, primary care, and pain management.
Jared believes that many of the physical illnesses that are treated in primary care have a strong mental health component to them that is all too often left unaddressed. It is his goal to incorporate both the physical and the mental health disciplines into his care that he provides to his patients. This is achieved by working closely with behavioral health specialists to provide a collaborative approach to patient care that improves their outcomes.
