My name is Wen-Chi Fan, and I am a passionate psychiatric nurse practitioner with 20 years of experience in mental health. I completed my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy at the University of Oregon, followed by a Doctorate in Nursing Practice, focusing on adult medicine (ANP) and mental health (PMHNP) from the University of Washington. I have also obtained a certificate for Functional Medicine (FMACP) and
continue to pursue ongoing education to enhance my practice.

These experiences have equipped me to provide integrative psychiatric care. For two decades, I’ve had the privilege of serving diverse and underserved communities—from psychiatric hospitals to community clinics, from veterans to seniors, from substance use disorders to psychosis.

I believe deeply in individual uniqueness and whole-person healing. My practice embraces an integrative approach that considers mind, body, and spirit. I offer psychiatric care that may include medication management, nutritional and supplement guidance, lifestyle recommendations, solution-focused therapy, and, when desired, spiritual practices.

Dr. Brianne Marie Weiss, PharmD, is a licensed pharmacist and functional medicine practitioner with advanced training in root-cause assessment, clinical nutrition, and integrative therapeutics. She is the founder of BMW Pharmacy, the first pharmacy of its kind located on Long Island, NY. At BMW Pharmacy we integrate functional medicine, advanced lab testing, red-light therapy, wellness services, skincare consultations and boutique retail within a traditional dispensing pharmacy model.

After years of witnessing the limitations of the corporate pharmacy system where patient care was overshadowed by high prescription volume which leads to errors and little time for meaningful guidance, Dr. Weiss set out to build a model that puts patients first. Her approach prioritizes personalization, education, and clinical depth, ensuring that every
patient receives the time, attention, and root-cause strategy needed to create lasting transformation.

Through her innovative model, Dr. Weiss blends clinical pharmacology with evidence-based nutritional and lifestyle interventions to help patients reduce medication burden, optimize metabolic and hormonal function, and reclaim their long-term wellbeing. She is known for her ability to bridge conventional and functional medicine, bringing a deeply patient-centered, results-driven approach.
