Anxiety & Insomnia Expert - Interview w/Tauna Young (Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner & NEUROVANA Founder)

Tauna Young is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, anxiety and nervous system expert, and founder of Neurovana Calm - a company dedicated to expanding access to innovative, evidence-based approaches for anxiety, insomnia, and nervous system dysregulation.After years of working directly with patients, Tauna noticed a recurring pattern: many mental health treatment plans focused primarily on managing symptoms while overlooking the underlying state of the nervous system itself. That realization led her to explore more integrative, physiology-based approaches to care, including Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES), an FDA-cleared technology designed to support nervous system regulation.Today, Tauna speaks nationally about anxiety, nervous system health, modern mental health treatment plans, and the importance of giving patients more informed, personalized care options. Her approach bridges clinical credibility with compassionate education, helping audiences understand the connection between physiology, emotional health, sleep, stress, and long-term resilience.Rather than positioning treatment as medication versus alternatives, Tauna advocates for expanding the mental health toolkit - creating treatment plans that may include therapy, medication, CES, lifestyle interventions, and other evidence-based supports tailored to the individual.Known for her calm, conversational communication style, Tauna makes neuroscience approachable and empowering for both practitioners and everyday audiences alike. Her mission is simple: help people feel less overwhelmed, more informed, and more hopeful about what’s possible in mental health care today.https://neurovanacalm.com/
