Gbemisola Chukwu, PMHNP

Hello! I am honored to support you on your mental health journey.

With more than 14 years of progressive clinical experience in both inpatient and outpatient behavioral health settings, I am deeply committed to providing comprehensive, compassionate, and evidence-based mental health care. My background includes extensive work with individuals experiencing co-occurring disorders and complex medical comorbidities, allowing me to integrate physical and mental health care to promote the best possible outcomes.

I also have specialized experience in perinatal mental health, supporting individuals through pregnancy, postpartum, and the reproductive life cycle. This includes the assessment and treatment of perinatal anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, and medication management before, during, and after pregnancy. I am dedicated to providing a safe, informed, and supportive space for those navigating mental health concerns during this important and vulnerable period.

I provide thorough psychiatric evaluations, accurate diagnoses, individualized treatment planning, medication management, supportive therapeutic interventions, and coordinated care grounded in the latest evidence-based practices. My experience as both a psychiatric registered nurse and a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) has strengthened my ability to develop personalized, holistic treatment plans tailored to each client’s unique needs.

My mission is to promote mental wellness, enhance brain health, and reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness. I work with individuals and families affected by conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eating disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and perinatal mental health conditions.

I believe patient-centered care is the foundation of effective treatment. Because mental health is closely connected to physical health and lifestyle, I strive to build trusting, therapeutic relationships that honor each client’s story, values, and goals.

I work with individuals ages 18 and older.
