About Kevin
Kevin Hamilton is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 6 years of clinical experience and a strong background in academic leadership. Kevin brings evidence-based expertise combined with genuine compassion to all his work, specializing in addiction treatment, trauma recovery, and relationship wellness.
Kevin's approach emphasizes collaborative care, meeting patients where they are, and providing individualized treatment plans. He believes in the power of both pharmacological and psychological interventions, skillfully combining medication management with therapeutic support to help patients achieve lasting recovery and improved quality of life.
Kevin holds a Master's degree in Psychiatric Nursing from Stony Brook School of Nursing and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from SUNY Downstate Medical Center, providing a strong foundation in both psychiatric and general nursing care. He served as an Associate Professor at Medgar Evers College from 2021-2023, bringing academic rigor and evidence-based knowledge to patient care.
With specialized certifications including Suboxone prescribing for medication-assisted treatment (MAT), BLS, ACLS, and PALS, Kevin is exceptionally skilled in addiction treatment. Licensed to practice in New York, California, Oregon, Texas, and Nevada, he brings expertise across diverse patient populations and clinical settings. Kevin's dual focus on addiction treatment and relational health makes him particularly effective in helping patients and families navigate recovery with compassion and clinical precision.
How Kevin approaches treatment
Kevin's practice covers ground that most psychiatric nurse practitioners don't hold in one clinical relationship. Beyond individual medication management and therapy, he works with couples and families, which means the relational and systemic context of a patient's mental health is something he can address directly rather than refer out. For patients whose depression, anxiety, or trauma is entangled with relationship dynamics or family stress, that scope changes what treatment can accomplish.
His Suboxone certification for medication-assisted treatment positions him as one of the addiction-focused providers in the SavantCare network alongside Dr. Martirosyan. For patients managing opioid use disorder alongside depression, anxiety, or PTSD, Kevin treats those conditions as connected rather than sequential, meaning the addiction treatment and psychiatric care happen within the same care relationship rather than across separate providers who may not be coordinating closely.
His background as an Associate Professor at Medgar Evers College also shapes how he communicates in sessions. Academic training builds the habit of explaining complex clinical concepts clearly and meeting a learner where they are, and patients consistently benefit from a provider who can translate what is happening neurologically and pharmacologically into terms that actually inform their decisions.
His patients also have access to SavantCare's 1:1 trauma-informed yoga sessions, which he incorporates alongside treatment particularly for patients in recovery and those managing trauma, where somatic regulation supports the nervous system work that medication and therapy are building toward.
