Brooke Harris, APRN, PMHNP-BC

Brooke Harris, APRN, PMHNP-BC, is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Salience Health in Dallas. Her background includes crisis intervention and de-escalation as well as caring for children and adolescents with mood disorders.

Brooke brings an early-intervention mindset to patient care, shaped by her experience working with patients experiencing complex and sometimes escalating behavioral health needs. At Salience, this expertise helps her recognize changes in a patient’s condition, understand when additional support may be needed, and work collaboratively with patients and their care team to determine the right next steps.

Central to Brooke’s approach is the belief that the patient should be the most important voice in their treatment. She sees her role as providing clinical guidance, education, and support while giving patients the information and confidence they need to participate meaningfully in decisions about their care. Her goal is not simply to help patients return to baseline, but to help them make meaningful changes and work toward a life in which they can thrive.

Before joining Salience Health, Brooke was among the early Psychiatric Resource Nurses at Children’s Health, where she contributed to the development of the role within pediatric psychiatric and behavioral healthcare. She also supported the growth of the Behavioral Emergency Response Team (BERT) nursing role, emphasizing early intervention, collaboration, and proactive management of behavioral health needs to help prevent escalation and reduce behavioral emergencies. She was also nominated for the Healing Hands, Caring Heart Award for her work in the Emergency Department.

A Texas native, Brooke enjoys reading, cooking, traveling, attending live music, and spending time outdoors with family, friends, and her dog. She also enjoys Pilates and kettlebell classes.
