Tera Adams, PMHNP, Psychiatry in Summerville, South Carolina

Tera Adams, PMHNP, helps teens and adults across South Carolina find steadier moods, sharper focus, and relief from overwhelming symptoms through thoughtful medication management at LifeStance Health. She partners with patients navigating ADHD, anxiety, and depression to create individualized treatment plans that support both day-to-day functioning and long-term emotional health, using a calm, evidence-based approach that respects each person’s goals and lived experience. She has a special passion for holistic mind and body health, weaving together exercise and nutrition, women’s health, and mindful self-awareness to strengthen the foundation of mental wellness. This whole-person lens is especially valuable for people dealing with hormonal shifts, stress-related burnout, or mood changes that affect energy, sleep, and motivation, and it allows care to move beyond symptom control toward sustainable balance. Tera provides medication management and integrates mindfulness as a practical intervention to help patients build emotional regulation and resilience alongside their prescriptions. She treats adolescents and teens as well as adults through midlife, and she is experienced in working with First Responders, Military and Veterans, and members of the LGBTQ+ community, while also offering additional support for other populations. Tera brings a collaborative, compassionate style to every visit, ensuring patients feel heard, informed, and empowered in their care. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time outdoors and making memories with her family.
