I worked in various inpatient mental health facilities, assisted individuals with learning disabilities, helped others with chronic illnesses, taught people ways to manage life traumas, and guided people who suffered with grief.
I have over 25 years of clinical experience working in various settings including my own practice for the past 17 years. I enjoy working with my clients and one of the first things I tell them is that I’m very laid back and I want them to feel comfortable during this process.
My name is Lynda Onyema, am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner MSN, CRNP, PMHNP-BC. I specialized in Behavioral health services. I offer diagnosis, professional/treatment assistance, and medication management for various mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar, ADHD etc.
I'm Baruch Glazer, an LCSW specializing in depth-oriented therapy with young adults navigating authenticity, meaning, and identity.
My Journey
I struggled with anxiety and depression for years before I discovered therapy. What changed everything wasn't symptom management—it was depth. Learning to actually understand myself, to sit with discomfort instead of optimize it away, to accept myself differently. That depth-oriented work didn't just ease my symptoms. It helped me become someone I'm proud of.
That experience fundamentally shapes how I work with clients.
Charlene Gantt, CRNP-PMH has over 30 years of nursing experience, including 12 years as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner in outpatient settings. She is ANCC Board Certified and has worked with clients across the lifespan, from adolescents to geriatric adults.
Charlene earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from York College of Pennsylvania, her Master of Science in Nursing with a Care Management focus in Maternal Health from Shenandoah University, and her Post-Master’s Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Certification from Shenandoah University.
Her background includes medical-surgical nursing, maternity care, psychiatry, outpatient clinics, community care, nursing program coordination, clinical instruction, and precepting psychiatric nurse practitioner students. She has experience treating anxiety, trauma-related concerns, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, dual diagnoses, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and co-occurring physical and mental health needs.
I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or mood changes. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I provide compassionate, evidence-based care focused on helping you regain stability and move forward with confidence. I earned my MSN from Eastern Kentucky University and my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Missouri State University. With experience in urgent psychiatric care, inpatient psychiatry, and outpatient treatment, I work with you to create a personalized plan that supports healing, resilience, and long-term well-being.
My background as a midwife for 22 years has prepared me to support you in your psychiatric journey. Although I specialize in maternal mental health, I enjoy general psychiatry for all genders age 14 and up. My philosophy is to provide integrative holistic psychiatric care that includes lifestyle changes, nutrition and medication. I attended graduate school at Yale School of Nursing and Frontier Nursing University. I am also certified by Postpartum Support International and am a lactation consultant. I am working towards my integrative psychiatry certification through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute.
I have extensive experience working with complex trauma, attachment issues, family, and spiritually and religiously-based trauma.
