Hi, my name is Geralda Gelus-Jules, DNP, PMHNP-BC, and I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. I work with adults and young adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, mood changes, and life stressors.
My style is warm, down-to-earth, and supportive. I believe healing happens when you feel truly heard, respected, and never judged. Together, we will explore what you are going through, identify patterns, and build a plan that may include medication, coping skills, lifestyle changes, and referrals for therapy when needed.
As a nurse practitioner, I combine medical knowledge with a holistic view of you as a whole person—mind, body, culture, family, and environment. My goal is to help you feel more stable, hopeful, and in control of your life again.
I am currently accepting new clients and would be honored to support you on your mental health journey.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Montclair, NJ
Finding psychiatrists in Montclair starts with understanding what kind of mental health care you need. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and support medication management. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can also diagnose and prescribe. Therapists focus on talk therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, background, and approach to see whether their training fits your needs.
Montclair has local psychiatry options, but availability can vary across Upper Montclair, downtown Montclair, and nearby Essex County communities. Virtual appointments can expand your search beyond offices within a short drive or walk, which may help if you need specific availability or a psychiatrist with experience in a certain concern. Psychiatry visits for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, while others focus on prescribing and follow-up care. Before booking, read psychiatrist bios for details on appointment format, scheduling, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Montclair can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your coverage, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, so you can compare profiles, check availability, and book directly when you are 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.
