I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and proud U.S. Army veteran committed to helping adults find balance and healing. I provide evidence-based, compassionate care for anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress-related conditions. My goal is to create a calm, respectful environment where every client—veteran or civilian—feels seen, supported, and understood. I combine medication management with practical coping strategies and therapy-informed guidance to promote lasting well-being.
I am board certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who specializes in adolescent and young adult psychiatry. I obtained my Master of Science in Nursing degree from Nova Southeastern University with specialized training in psychiatry. For the last five year I have held various leadership positions for a local residential treatment center for teens that specializes in complex trauma treatment.
My goal is to help you overcome the challenges you are facing in a safe and comfortable environment to help you improve your quality of life. My passion is helping those with substance use disorders, including alcohol and opioid use disorder, safely detox from the substances and work towards a meaningful and long-lasting recovery. With a decade of experience serving a wide range of patients I am a dual-certified family nurse practitioner and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner.
I believe mental health care should feel collaborative, practical, and judgment-free. I take the time to understand not only your symptoms, but also your lifestyle, relationships, work, physical health, and the goals that matter most to you.
My approach to medication management is thoughtful and individualized. I believe in using the lowest effective dose when possible, avoiding unnecessary medications, and making changes based on how you actually feel and function—not simply a diagnosis on paper. I’ll explain the reasoning behind treatment recommendations, including benefits, potential side effects, and alternatives, so you can make informed decisions about your care.
I also place a strong emphasis on the fundamentals that influence mental health, including sleep, exercise, nutrition, stress management, and healthy routines. Medication can be an important tool, but I believe the best outcomes often come from looking at the whole person.
Most importantly, I want you to feel heard and comfortable being honest with me. My goal is to create a space where we can openly discuss what is working, what isn’t, and adjust your treatment together as your needs change.

I blend clinical expertise with a whole‐person perspective, helping you understand what you’re experiencing and what can help. My years in behavioral health shaped my commitment to trauma‐informed, culturally responsive care. I aim to create a space where you feel respected, understood, and able to explore what’s getting in the way of feeling like yourself again.

Denise Chandler, APRN, FNP-C, PMHNP Family Nurse Practitioner • Psychiatric Mental Health Practitioner • Women’s Health Specialist
Hello, my name is Denise Chandler. I have been an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse since 2011 and bring more than 23 years of nursing experience. I hold Master’s degrees in Nursing Healthcare Education and Family Practice and am certified in both Family Practice and Psychiatric Mental Health.
For over a decade, I worked exclusively in Women’s Health Care, where I developed a deep understanding of how hormonal changes affect physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Today, I provide care for men, women, and youth ages 14 and older who may be experiencing hormone-related changes, mood disorders, or life transitions.
Common concerns I treat include menopause, perimenopause, PMDD, puberty, and menstrual irregularities such as dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, and anemia. I also address sexual health concerns like painful sex, orgasmic dysfunction, and low libido, as well as ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, panic, insomnia, stress, fatigue, and weight management challenges.
My approach emphasizes whole-person care. I order lab work when needed, use genetic testing to guide safer medication choices, and educate on vitamins and supplements that may support healing. I frequently collaborate with therapists and counselors to enhance outcomes.
With clinical experience in neurology, cardiology, mental health, emergency medicine, gynecology, and obstetrics, and years as an educator, I make complex health concepts simple and actionable. Whether in person or virtually, I create a safe, open environment where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to restore balance and improve quality of life.

I understand that seeking mental health care can be a difficult step, and my goal is to provide a safe, respectful, and judgment-free space where you feel comfortable sharing your story. I believe in listening first and caring for the whole person, not just treating symptoms. My approach is rooted in compassion, professionalism, and evidence-based practice. I take the time to understand each patient's unique experiences, provide education so you can make informed decisions about your care, and work with you to develop a treatment plan that aligns with your goals. I view mental health care as a partnership, and my hope is that every patient leaves feeling heard, respected, supported, and encouraged
