Dr. Darian Hawke, DNP, ARNP, PMHNP-BC, CEN earned his Doctor of Nursing Practice at Seattle University and is a licensed advanced registered nurse practitioner, board-certified as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Darian is also a certified emergency nurse. He serves clients throughout Washington State, both in person and via telehealth.

Dr. Hawke believes everyone is capable of healing and growth, especially when they're willing to put in the effort. His goal is to help each client reach their mental health goals through collaboration and an individualized treatment plan that may include evaluation, medication management, and brief psychotherapeutic interventions. Drawing on motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and solution-focused techniques, he helps clients build self-awareness, strengthen resilience, and work through challenges that interfere with their overall well-being. His approach combines evidence-based medication management with current clinical research to shape care that's tailored to each person's unique needs and goals — all grounded in compassion, collaboration, and a genuine commitment to his clients' well-being. He is LGBTQ+ friendly, and is committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where people can explore their unique concerns, needs, and treatment goals.

Most recently, Darian has been working with indigenous peoples. Previously, Darian worked to optimize the mental health of active duty military personnel and their families, Veterans, and first responders, and was in a practice offering deep transcranial magnetic therapy (dTMS). While he does not currently offer that treatment, he is more than happy to work with you and refer you out for that portion of your treatment, if desired.

For more than 18 years, Darian has helped people improve their health — from the operating room to the emergency department, and now in behavioral health. His years in the emergency department made clear to him that most patients end up there because of mental health, whether their own or someone else's — sometimes an acute crisis, but often the result of a chronic progression. This shaped his belief that treating mental health as a core part of overall health care, and intervening earlier, leads to better outcomes across the board. A lifelong learner, he continues to seek out new knowledge and grow with every opportunity.

Outside of work, Darian loves to cook, paint, create driftwood art, travel, and listen to music. He's often found in the garden, at the beach, or out in the woods with his husband and their two doodles.
