Shunesa Perkins, APRN, PMHNP-BC, is a psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 17 years of experience in nursing and mental health care. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Sociology from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Jacksonville State University, and a Master of Science in Nursing (PMHNP-BC) from Walden University. Shunesa is committed to continuous professional development and staying current with advancements in psychiatric care.
She began her nursing career in hematology and oncology, where she developed a passion for supporting patients’ mental health and recognizing the connection between emotional well-being and physical illness. She currently specializes in child and adult mental health, providing comprehensive care that includes medication management, crisis intervention, psychiatric assessment, and brief evidence-based psychotherapies. Her focus includes mood disorders, ADHD, trauma, psychotic disorders, and chronic mental illness.
Shunesa’s approach is personalized and collaborative, working closely with patients to develop treatment plans grounded in evidence and tailored to individual needs. She prioritizes fostering a safe and empathetic environment where every patient feels seen, heard, and supported throughout their care. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with family, meeting new people, thrifting, decorating for special occasions, and home staging.
We’re proud to share that our three affiliated practices—Psych Atlanta, Georgia Psychiatry & Sleep, and Roots Behavioral Health—are now part of the Hightop Health family. While each clinic has built its own legacy of trusted care, we’re taking the next step forward—bringing everything together under the Hightop Health name.
This change is part of our commitment to creating a premier, clinician-led outpatient mental health group that sets a new standard for comprehensive, compassionate care. Though the brand is evolving, nothing about your experience is: same expert teams, same innovative treatments, same personalized approach. Now unified by a single mission—to deliver better mental health care that inspires hope and lasting healing.
This transition won’t affect your care—but it will enhance the way we show up, work together, and serve communities across Georgia, Texas, and beyond.
