Christiane Previlma
Psychiatric Mental Health NP
Virtual & in-person • 2.1 mi away • Port St. Lucie, FL
Dual board-certified PMHNP & FNP with 25 years of nursing experience in women's health and obstetrics. I specialize in ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, insomnia, and perinatal mental health — offering medication management and CBT therapy. You'll feel heard, understood, and clear on what's been driving how you feel.
I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a background in social work and therapy, and that experience has shaped how I think about mental health care. I’ve learned that what someone is experiencing is rarely just one thing. Our relationships, environment, past experiences, biology, and daily stressors can all play a role. I became a PMHNP-BC because I wanted to bring medication management into the same thoughtful, whole-person care I had been providing throughout my career.
I'm Astrid, a dedicated nurse practitioner with over 18 years of healthcare experience, including over 7 years in mental health, presently welcoming clients in FLORIDA and COLORADO.
I believe everyone deserves care that respects their entire being and honors the uniqueness of their life story.
My mission is to create a supportive and healing environment where mental health is approached holistically in a safe and judgment-free environment.
I am deeply committed to supporting individuals, especially women across the lifespan, from puberty and postpartum to perimenopause and beyond, as they navigate challenges, reclaim their power, and thrive.
I am extremely passionate about mental wellness to achieve the best possible quality of life. I often see the correlation of neglecting mental health and the negative effects on ones self care and relationships with others. I have a diverse background in psychiatric mental health to treat acute and chronic concerns with a specialty with womens mental health. As a duel certified FNP and PMHNP, I value the importance of overall mind and body well-being.
I believe mental health care should be personalized to the person, not just focused on a diagnosis. I work with adults and older adults experiencing concerns such as anxiety, ADHD, depression, OCD, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being honest about what you’re experiencing. I take time to understand your symptoms, your experiences, and what you want to improve so we can build a treatment plan that fits your needs and goals.
I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner working with adults from diverse backgrounds. I provide warm, affirming, and direct care, with a collaborative approach focused on understanding each person's goals supporting meaningful , sustainable progress. My priority is creating a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered in their care.

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 Port Saint Lucie
Finding the right psychiatrist in Port Saint Lucie starts with understanding what type of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy and support. If you’re looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, credentials, and care approach to see whether their background matches what you want to address.
In a mid-size city like Port Saint Lucie, your search may include psychiatrists with offices near Tradition, St. Lucie West, or downtown, along with psychiatrists who offer virtual appointments across Florida. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so availability, appointment format, and scheduling flexibility can shape the right match. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading bios before booking can help you understand a psychiatrist’s communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in appointments.
Psychiatric care in Port Saint Lucie can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs and understand your estimated price before your first visit. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your needs, accept your plan, and are accepting new patients, so you can review profiles and book directly when you’re ready.
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.
