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.

Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Clermont
Searching for psychiatrists in Clermont starts with understanding what kind of mental health care you want to find. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medication management. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners may also diagnose and prescribe through their license. Therapists, including counselors, social workers, and psychologists, provide talk therapy. Both can be helpful entry points, depending on whether you want support for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs.
Clermont is a smaller market, so local in-person psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger Florida cities. Virtual appointments can expand your search while keeping care accessible from home. Psychiatry visits also tend to follow a different cadence than therapy. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent, while therapy sessions may be longer and more regular. Some psychiatrists offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Review each profile before booking to understand appointment format, availability, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Clermont can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners who are accepting new patients and match your plan. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before booking, then compare bios, appointment times, and virtual or in-person options in one place.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
