Finding the right therapist can be a daunting task. With so many mental health professionals to choose from, it can be overwhelming to find the right one for you. However, there are many benefits to working with a diverse provider who can provide a unique perspective, cultural sensitivity, and more tailored care for those struggling with mental illness. At Renewing Mindsets, we provide comprehensive mental health services that are tailored to the needs of our clients.
Mental health issues disproportionately affect minority communities, yet minority individuals are often less likely to seek out mental health care due to societal stigma, language and cultural barriers, and lack of access to quality care. That’s why working with a diverse provider can be incredibly beneficial. A diverse provider can provide a unique and culturally sensitive perspective on mental health issues, as well as a better understanding of the obstacles that minority individuals face in their lives.
At Renewing Mindsets, we understand the unique challenges that women of color face and strive to provide them with the compassionate, respectful, and tailored care they need.

Across Philadelphia, The Main Line, and Surrounding Areas
At Renewing Mindsets, we understand the profound impact that undiagnosed and untreated mental health conditions can have on one's quality of life. Our experienced psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner provides comprehensive services to address ADHD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity and self-esteem issues, executive function deficits, and difficulties with focus and concentration.
For those struggling with possible attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), we offer thorough diagnostic evaluations and ADHD testing at our offices conveniently located in Philadelphia, the Main Line, Delaware County, Montgomery County, Newtown Square, Paoli, King of Prussia, and surrounding areas. Our provider carefully considers one's lifetime ADHD symptoms, impairments, psychiatric history, medical issues, and family context to determine if ADHD criteria are fully met. We know that many factors like thyroid disorders, sleep deprivation, and stress can mimic ADHD, so a proper diagnosis from an ADHD specialist is key.
Once diagnosed, we create integrated, personalized ADHD treatment plans that incorporate medication management, psychotherapy, coaching, and lifestyle changes tailored to each patient’s unique needs and goals. Our nurse practitioner prescribes evidence-based ADHD medications like stimulants, non-stimulants, and antidepressants when appropriate and continually monitors progress and any side effects. Therapy addresses negative thought patterns, functional impairments, co-occurring mental health conditions, and healthy coping skills. Lifestyle adjustments to exercise, nutrition, sleep and mindfulness complement ADHD treatment.
Beyond ADHD, we successfully treat many conditions like depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and bipolar disorder through psychotherapy and medication management from our psychiatry provider. If you struggle with sadness, chronic worry, panic attacks, compulsions, or mood instability, we can help you reclaim your joy, calm, and stability. Our compassionate women psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners teach healthy coping strategies, thought restructuring, fear hierarchy approaches, boundaries, and relaxation techniques. Medications like SSRIs, SNRIs, mood stabilizers and atypical antipsychotics may also be incorporated to manage symptoms alongside therapy.
Major life transitions and stressors can profoundly impact one’s mental health. We assist those dealing with grief and loss, career changes, relationship issues like divorce, health concerns, aging and retirement, empty nest syndrome, and other life adjustments throughout Philadelphia, the Main Line, Delaware County, Montgomery County, and nearby areas. You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. Our supportive psychotherapy helps you process emotions, gain perspective, and create meaning during times of change and uncertainty. Holistic treatment empowers you to care for your whole self – mind, body and spirit.
Low self-esteem, lack of identity, and difficult family dynamics often benefit from counseling as well. Childhood experiences like neglect, criticism, trauma, or emotional absence can manifest as unhelpful core beliefs about ourselves and distorted views of relationships in adulthood. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps you identify, challenge and reframe negative thought patterns. Emotion-focused therapy encourages emotional awareness and expression. Psychodynamic therapy uncovers unconscious processes and how childhood wounds impact current functioning. With insight, self-awareness, and tools you can cultivate self-compassion, establish boundaries, align values with actions, and gain skills to enrich relationships. Psychotherapy empowers your personal growth.
Additionally, we treat issues related to executive functioning like poor planning, disorganization, forgetfulness and impulse control. Adults on the autism spectrum can also benefit from structure and support in managing responsibilities. Our ADHD coaching provides personalized strategies, routines, environmental adaptations, and technology to maximize productivity and independence. Coaching targets procrastination, chronic lateness, and difficulties managing time, finances, and clutter.
If you’ve experienced a traumatic event, we can help you recover with evidence based treatments like EMDR, exposure therapy, and somatic therapy. Trauma processing repairs dysfunctional survival responses and eases PTSD symptoms of hypervigilance, nightmares, flashbacks, avoidance, and detachment. Our compassionate nurse practitioners guide trauma healing in a safe and gentle manner.
While balancing numerous mental health treatment components takes commitment, the rewards make it worthwhile. Our integrated care plans aim to equip adults with the self-knowledge, skills, support and resources to thrive in all aspects of life. With our help, you can overcome what’s holding you back and live fully.

ADHD Assessments and Treatment
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by difficulty regulating attention, hyperactivity, and impulsive actions. Though most prevalent in childhood, ADHD frequently persists into adulthood. In fact, an estimated 4% of U.S. adults live with ADHD.
The disorder profoundly impacts work performance, relationships, self-esteem, and quality of life. Many adults with undiagnosed ADHD believe they are simply lazy, scatterbrained, or irresponsible. They don’t understand their symptoms stem from a legitimate medical condition. Receiving an accurate ADHD diagnosis and appropriate treatment can tremendously improve mental health.
Signs and Symptoms
Adults with ADHD exhibit some of the following characteristics:
- Difficulty paying attention and staying focused, forgetfulness
- Chronic disorganization, messiness, frequently losing items
- Poor time management, frequently running late
- Avoiding mentally demanding tasks
- Restlessness, excessive talking, difficulty relaxing
- Impulsiveness, difficulty controlling reactions
- Problems following through and finishing tasks
- Trouble managing stress, easy frustration, frequent mood swings
- Excessive errors, difficulty completing meticulous work
Some people experience predominantly inattentive symptoms while others have more hyperactivity/impulsivity characteristics. People with inattentive ADHD tend to appear distracted, forgetful, disorganized and unfocused. Those with hyperactive qualities seem restless, impulsive, and difficult to pin down. Most adults have combined type ADHD with varied symptoms.
ADHD Causes
ADHD stems from chemical and structural differences in the brain. Genetics play a major role, as ADHD runs strongly in families. Imbalances in dopamine and norepinephrine likely contribute, as these neurotransmitters regulate attention, impulse control and executive functioning. Developmental factors in the womb and early childhood also influence ADHD risk.
ADHD Diagnosis
If you see ADHD symptoms in yourself, begin by speaking with your primary care doctor. They can screen for possible ADHD and check for other potential causes. Be prepared to describe lifelong issues with focus, sitting still, following instructions, disorganization, etc. Bring any records to help document symptoms back to childhood.
For formal diagnostic testing, see a mental health professional like a psychologist or psychiatric nurse practitioner who specializes in ADHD. At Renewing Mindsets, our experienced provider conducts thorough ADHD assessments. We use rating scales and questionnaires to systematically document the full range of symptoms and impairments stemming back to early childhood. Input from people who knew you as a child helps confirm this lifelong pattern.
ADHD testing also looks for other explanations like thyroid problems, mood disorders, sleep apnea, past concussions, OCD and anxiety that may resemble ADHD. A comprehensive evaluation determines if ADHD fully accounts for your struggles or if additional conditions contribute. This accurate diagnosis lays the groundwork for effective treatment.
ADHD Treatment
ADHD treatment incorporates medication, therapy, coaching, and lifestyle changes tailored to each individual’s needs. Therapy provides coping skills training and addresses negative thought patterns. Coaching targets organizational problems, time management and planning weaknesses through tailored strategies and structure. Lifestyle adjustments to exercise, sleep, nutrition and stress management complement treatment.
At Renewing Mindsets, our psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner prescribes evidence-based ADHD medications in coordination with your needs, preferences and response to treatment. We continually monitor progress and any side effects. Our compassionate therapist offers counseling to enhance your emotional wellbeing. We also provide organizational coaching and share lifestyle optimization tips. With integrated care, you gain comprehensive skills, support and resources to manage ADHD and thrive in all areas of life. Contact us today.

Anxiety Treatment
Anxiety disorders involve excessive fear and worry that negatively impact daily functioning. Physical symptoms like increased heart rate, digestive upset, trouble breathing, and dizziness often accompany the psychological distress. Anxiety has many manifestations, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, OCD and PTSD. Nearly 1 in 5 American adults currently live with anxiety.
Left untreated, anxiety tends to worsen and further constrict one’s life. The good news is therapy, lifestyle changes, stress management, and sometimes medication can help control anxiety. At Renewing Mindsets, our experienced psychiatric nurse practitioner draws on proven approaches to craft integrated treatment plans that reduce anxiety’s severity.
Common components include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy:
CBT helps identify and modify distorted thought patterns that fuel anxiety. You learn to reframe worrisome thoughts to be more realistic and helpful. CBT also gradually exposes you to feared situations in a controlled way that builds confidence.
Relaxation Techniques:
Practices like deep breathing, visualization, meditation and mindfulness counteract anxiety’s manifestations in the body. Mastering relaxation skills provides lasting tools to find calm.
Avoidance Prevention:
Anxiety drives people to avoid triggering situations. Yet avoidance reinforces anxiety, while facing fears helps them subside. Therapy guides anxiety exposure.
Stress Management:
Stress, poor sleep, exercise and eating habits exacerbate anxiety. Adjustments to lower stress and adopt healthy routines better support mental wellbeing.
Anxiety recovery takes commitment, but our collaborative treatment approach makes the process more manageable. We partner to set realistic goals, face fears one step at a time, cultivate resilience, and integrate wellness practices into your lifestyle. Contact Renewing Mindsets today to start addressing anxiety’s impact with compassionate, holistic care.
Depression Treatment
Depression affects more than 20 million American adults each year. Major depression significantly interferes with everyday activities, as people lose interest in work, hobbies, relationships and more during depressive episodes. Symptoms may include:
- Sadness, emptiness, tearfulness, or irritability
- Loss of energy, chronic fatigue
- Trouble sleeping or excessive sleeping
- Difficulty concentrating
- Appetite changes, weight loss or gain
- Avoidance of social activities
- Self-criticism, feelings of worthlessness
- Slowed movement and speech
- Physical aches and pains
- Thoughts of death or suicide
While a few underlying factors like genetics and brain chemistry contribute, certain lifestyle habits and situations – like chronic stress, loneliness, poor diet, and lack of exercise – also increase susceptibility. People may experience situational depression following losses or major life changes. With care and support, most people fully recover from depression.
At Renewing Mindsets, our psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner draws on proven methods to create personalized depression treatment plans. Common components include:
Medications to correct neurotransmitter imbalances in the brain that create low mood. We carefully monitor medication effectiveness and side effects.
Psychotherapy to process contributing emotions, identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts, foster self-awareness, and take needed actions.
Coaching to establish beneficial daily routines, manage responsibilities that feel overwhelming, and inject stimulation into one’s schedule. We hold you gently accountable.
Exercise, balanced nutrition, quality sleep and mindfulness practices to reduce inflammation, balance hormones, and support a sense of wellbeing in the body and mind.
Stress management and life balance adjustments to reduce pressures and obligations to sustainable levels.
Connection to social support and community to enhance mental wellness.
Depression treatment takes patience, commitment and courage to address the roots of depressed mood in mindset, lifestyle and habits. But you don’t have to take this journey alone. Our compassionate psychiatric nurse practitioner partners with you every step of the way until joy, energy and engagement return. Contact us today for holistic depression care.
Bipolar Disorder Treatment
Bipolar disorder involves dramatic shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, and ability to carry out daily tasks. Formerly called manic depression, people cycle between emotional “highs” (mania or hypomania) and “lows” (depression). These mood changes impair work, relationships, focus, sleep and health.
Bipolar symptoms may include:
- Euphoric, energetic moods
- Decreased need for sleep without fatigue
- Extreme irritability or rage
- Fast, racing thoughts and rapid speech
- Impulsive or risky behavior like overspending and promiscuity
- Inflated self-esteem, feelings of grandiosity
- Easily distracted, trouble staying on task
- Depressed mood or sadness
- Fatigue, low energy and motivation
- Difficulty concentrating
- Withdrawing from people and activities
- Change in appetite and weight
- Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
- Suicidal thinking
While the exact causes are unclear, brain chemistry, neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, and genetics likely contribute. Stress and major life events can also trigger episodes in those predisposed.
With proper treatment, many people achieve stable moods and successful management of bipolar disorder. At Renewing Mindsets, our psychiatric nurse practitioner applies evidence-based practices to minimize symptoms’ severity and impact. Medications like mood stabilizers, atypical antipsychotics and antidepressants help regulate mood. Talk therapy provides coping skills to handle challenges that trigger episodes. We teach lifestyle approaches to manage stress, improve sleep, and support wellness.
Treatment also focuses on recognizing mania’s early warning signs before it escalates dangerously. Monitoring and addressing these shifts as soon as possible better avoids destructive consequences. We partner with each client to find the right medication combination, talk therapy approaches, and lifestyle adjustments to maintain mood stability. Through compassionate, holistic care, you can gain control over bipolar disorder and thrive. Contact us today.
OCD Treatment
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) involves unwanted, intrusive thoughts and urges (obsessions) that create anxiety. People rely on ritualized behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) aimed at reducing that distress. But compulsions only provide temporary relief, starting the cycle again. OCD obsessions and rituals disrupt daily functioning, work, relationships and peace of mind.
OCD may manifest in many themes:
- Contamination – excessive hand washing, cleaning, fear of germs
- Checking – repeatedly checking appliances, locks, paperwork for mistakes
- Symmetry and order – needing items arranged “just so”
- Hoarding – collecting and inability to discard possessions
- Mental rituals – counting, silently repeating words or phrases
- Intrusive taboo thoughts of sex, blasphemy, harm
Effective treatment helps people manage their OCD symptoms and reclaim mental wellness. At Renewing Mindsets, our psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner applies proven techniques like:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy to reduce compulsive behaviors through gradual exposure and response prevention. Learn to tolerate anxiety without rituals.
- Medications to adjust brain chemistry linked to OCD. They reduce obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.
- Mindfulness and meditation to sit with anxiety rather than engage in compulsions. These practices build distress tolerance.
- Improved sleep, nutrition and exercise habits to support mental health and resilience.
- Joining an OCD support group to share stories and proven strategies.
While OCD treatment isn’t quick or easy, our customized approach tailored to your symptoms supports steady progress. We help you understand the roots of obsessive thoughts and anxiety. With tools to refrain from compulsions, these decrease over time. We also address unhelpful beliefs creating shame, guilt and fear. Our compassionate psychiatric nurse practitioner provides the education, support and accountability to advance your treatment goals week by week.
If you’re ready to break free from the prison of obsessive compulsive disorder, contact Renewing Mindsets today. Our holistic perspective addresses mind, body and lifestyle factors influencing mental health. With leading edge care, you can overcome OCD’s burden and reclaim peace of mind.

PTSD Treatment
Post traumatic stress disorder develops after experiencing a disturbing, shocking or dangerous event. PTSD sufferers relive the trauma through intrusive flashbacks, nightmares and distressing thoughts that won’t go away. They avoid anything reminding them of the trauma and feel emotionally numb. PTSD also creates anxiety, jittery arousal, angry outbursts and trouble concentrating. Symptoms interfere with work, relationships, and mental wellbeing.
PTSD requires professional treatment to overcome trauma’s lingering effects. At Renewing Mindsets, our psychiatric nurse practitioner applies leading evidence-based therapies to process trauma and reduce debilitating symptoms. We create integrated plans tailored to each client’s experiences, needs and goals. Common PTSD treatments include:
With time, commitment and courage, PTSD symptoms can be overcome. We won’t rush your healing journey’s pace. Progress happens one step at a time through restoring safety, trust and empowerment. If past trauma still haunts you, contact Renewing Mindsets today for compassionate, highly effective PTSD therapy.
Grief Counseling
Losing a loved one creates profound sorrow. Grief counseling provides support in navigating this painful transition. Through talking about memories, processing emotions, and performing healing rituals, the bereaved move toward acceptance and renewal.
At Renewing Mindsets, our psychiatric nurse practitioner brings empathy, experience and a holistic perspective to grief counseling. We give you space to share stories and express feelings free of judgment. If emotions feel overwhelming, we teach healthy coping strategies. Often grief unleashes previously unresolved trauma and conflicts with the deceased. Counseling resolves this “unfinished business” to find closure.
Grief follows no timeline, but tends to unfold in phases:
- Shock and denial – Numbness and disbelief initially protect from intense emotions.
- Anger – Frustration over the loss leads to lashing out at others.
- Depression – Sadness surfaces during this withdrawn phase. Crying provides release.
- Bargaining – Struggling to accept the reality of loss.
- Acceptance – The intense pangs of grief lessen and hope returns.
We help you navigate grief’s phases without getting permanently stuck in any one painful place. By processing the loss, you can integrate the memory of your loved one into your life in a healthy way. Their spirit surrounds you still. Contact us for compassionate grief counseling and support when you need it most.
Trauma Therapy
Recovering from a traumatic event takes courage, hard work, and expert guidance. Trauma literally reshapes the brain, programming people to be constantly on guard, perceive threats everywhere, and overreact to everyday stressors. In essence, the nervous system gets “stuck” in survival mode.
By releasing trauma from the body and reworking the story we tell ourselves about the event, we can unwind trauma’s legacy. At Renewing Mindsets, our psychiatric nurse practitioner draws on leading modalities to process traumas gently and completely.
Whether you experienced a one-time traumatic event or repetitive abuse and neglect, counseling can help you break free from the past. We won’t rush your healing journey, as working through trauma requires courage and patience. With our support, you can overcome trauma’s burden to reclaim inner peace and strength. Contact Renewing Mindsets today.
Career Counseling & Coaching
Major career changes rank among the top sources of strain. You may feel anxious about leaving the familiarity of a long-held job. Or if unemployed or unfulfilled in your work, confusion and self-doubt may set in. Career counseling builds self-awareness to make the transition smoother.
At Renewing Mindsets, our psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner offers professional career coaching to help you:
Assess your natural passions, values, strengths and ideal conditions. Reflect on what energizes you.
Consider different potential career paths aligned with this inner wisdom to generate ideas.
Reality test aspirations – are they realistic? Do they fit your lifestyle? Will roles utilize your abilities?
Build skills and qualifications to prepare for new possibilities.
Craft polished application materials to convey your fit and enthusiasm.
Practice interviewing well. Leave positive impressions.
Overcome obstacles like lost confidence and fear of change that undermine persistence.
Manage the logistics of networking, searching, applying and interviewing involved in an active job search.
By identifying the right opportunity suited to who you truly are – not just qualifications on paper – you set the stage for engagement and success. Let career counseling illuminate your professional purpose. Contact us today.
Relationship Counseling
All committed relationships experience ups and downs. Even happy couples argue. Occasional plateaus in intimacy occur. Outside stressors and responsibilities strain bonds from time to time. So when a rough patch hits, don’t panic. Relationship counseling can help you navigate back to partnership, passion and joyful connection.
Relationship counseling is designed to:
- Improve Communication – We teach listening, speaking and self-expression tools to share feelings and needs compassionately without blaming. You also learn conflict resolution models.
- Foster Intimacy and Friendship – Couples are guided through intimacy building exercises like sharing appreciation, novel dates, reflective discussions, and sensual touch, along with fun bonding activities that formed the friendship.
- Manage External Stressors – Job demands, parenting challenges, grief and other stressors sap couples’ energy. Counseling helps build resilience.
- Heal Betrayals – Infidelity, lies or addiction can erode trust. We provide a space to process pain, understand its origins in oneself and in the partnership, forgive, and commit to rebuilt honesty.
- Prepare for Change – We help couples adjust to major life changes like becoming newlyweds, first-time parents, empty nesters, or retirement that require rebalancing.
- Work Through Mental Health Issues – When depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD or other disorders strain the relationship, counseling treats the conditions while also enhancing communication.
Remember — you partner with someone for qualities beyond surface charm. Bring out each other’s best, and the relationship will thrive for years to come. Renewing Mindsets offers compassionate relationship counseling tailored to your needs. Contact us today.
LGBTQ Counseling
Questioning identity and navigating LGBTQ complexities can be difficult alone. Without support, many feel isolated and unsure where they belong. LGBTQ counseling provides a welcoming space for people to share authentically.
Our clinicians guide all mental health journeys with compassion. You have the right to shine as your beautiful, authentic self. Let LGBTQ counseling help you claim your power and confidence. Contact us today.
Psychiatry Services – Medication Management
Medication often plays an important role in mental health treatment plans. Prescribed properly by an expert, medications help stabilize mood, ease anxiety, improve focus, and manage other psychiatric symptoms. Medication allows you to fully engage in counseling, coaching and lifestyle changes essential for healing.
As psychiatric nurse practitioners, we are specially trained to prescribe and monitor psychiatric medications. Our holistic perspective considers your symptoms, health history, substance use, and preferences to match you with the appropriate medications and dosing. Medications we commonly prescribe, based on the psychiatric diagnoses, include:
We closely track medication effectiveness and any side effects, adjusting as necessary. Your symptoms will guide your care. To augment therapy, we coordinate medication follow-up and monitoring. Contact us today to determine if medications could help your mental health journey.
Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment
Many who struggle with a mental health disorder like addiction, depression or an eating disorder also live with one or more additional psychiatric conditions at the same time. This combination of co-occurring mental illnesses makes treatment more complex. We apply an integrated treatment approach to simultaneously address the multiple disorders.
Common co-occurring disorder pairings include:
- Addiction & depression
- Addiction & anxiety
- Addiction & bipolar disorder
- Addiction & PTSD
- Eating disorders & depression
- Eating disorders & anxiety
- PTSD & depression
- ADHD & addiction
- ADHD & depression
- OCD & anxiety
When mental health conditions intertwine, treating just one fails to alleviate all symptoms. The untreated condition will continue causing impairment and undermine progress.
Our psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner conducts thorough assessments to identify all conditions contributing to your struggles. We then design a personalized treatment plan that weaves together the needed modalities – like psychotherapy for depression and addiction counseling for substance abuse – to improve total functioning. Medications may also play a role in managing symptoms.
By addressing all aspects of your mental health simultaneously, you can find relief from long-standing suffering. We know unraveling multiple psychiatric disorders seems daunting, but you don’t have to take this journey alone. Our compassionate, highly experienced clinician will guide your healing one step at a time. Contact Renewing Mindsets today to discuss your treatment options.
With compassionate support, we can assist you in your journey. Though the path includes setbacks, greater peace and purpose can await if you stay the course. Contact us today.
