I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a background in nursing and mental health care.I’m passionate about supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, and life transitions with thoughtful, personalized care. I value creating a calm, welcoming space where you feel respected, supported, and truly heard.
As a psychotherapist for the last 15 years, I work with a general adult population primarily with mood disorders, adjustment related concerns, grief and loss and relational concerns.
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.
Working in the field for 24 years has opened my eyes and ears to many experiences. While your life experience is unique, we will work together to find ways to get you to your best life. I have worked in a hospital setting, inpatient mental health, outpatient mental health, PHP, IOP, Dual Diagnosis, rehab, residential treatment and community settings to a variety of clients in various backgrounds.
As a therapist and social worker, I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered. I understand that seeking therapy can feel vulnerable, and I value building authentic therapeutic relationships grounded in trust, compassion, and collaboration.
My approach is holistic, culturally responsive, and client-centered. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, burnout, self-esteem concerns, and emotional overwhelm. I also have a special interest in women’s mental health, including perinatal and postpartum mental health, identity development, and helping professionals manage burnout.
I believe therapy should feel like a space where you do not have to “have it all together.” Together, we will explore patterns, strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and work toward meaningful, sustainable growth at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Clients often describe me as compassionate, relatable, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. My goal is to help you feel supported while also challenged toward healing, self-awareness, and lasting change.
