Dr. Sharonda Moore-Forehand
Psychiatric Mental Health NP
Virtual & in-person • 9.5 mi away • Ridgewood, NJ
am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care to children, adolescents, and adults. I work with individuals experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, substance use disorders, and other mental health concerns. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive, skills-based psychotherapy, with treatment tailored to each patient's age, circumstances, symptoms, and goals.
My clinical background includes extensive work in outpatient psychiatry, behavioral health systems, detoxification and dual-diagnosis programs, and community-based mental health organizations. This experience has allowed me to work with individuals across the lifespan and with a wide range of needs, from patients seeking help with anxiety, depression, or ADHD to those managing trauma, substance use, or more complex mental health conditions. I hold a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree with advanced training in psychiatric mental health. In addition to my direct clinical work, I have served as Chief Nurse Executive for a large behavioral health organization, where I oversaw integrated mental health, addiction treatment, and community-care programs. Working at both the patient and organizational levels has given me a broad perspective on mental health care and reinforced the importance of looking beyond a diagnosis to understand the medical, psychological, social, and environmental factors that can affect a person's well-being.

If you're a parent worried about your child, or a young person trying to keep it together — I see you, and I'm here to help.
Maybe your child is melting down in ways you can't explain. Maybe your teen is shutting down, struggling at school, or carrying something heavy that nobody's been able to name yet. Maybe you've tried to get help before and it didn't quite fit. Whatever brought you here, you're not overreacting — and you don't have to keep navigating this alone.

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 Trenton
Finding the right psychiatrist in Trenton starts with understanding what kind of care you’re looking for. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medication management. Psychiatric nurse practitioners may also diagnose conditions and prescribe medication. Therapists provide talk therapy and are another valid place to start, depending on your needs. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, background, and approach before booking.
Trenton is a smaller city, so local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger New Jersey markets. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still keeping care connected to your schedule and insurance. Psychiatric care often uses shorter, less frequent medication management visits than therapy, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare profiles, look at appointment availability, whether free phone consultations are offered, and what each bio says about communication style and session structure.
Psychiatric care in Trenton 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 care begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners who accept your plan, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates after your insurance is verified. You can review bios, compare availability, 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.
