Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • East Orange, NJ


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.

Welcome—I'm glad you're here. Reaching out for support takes courage, and it’s an important first step toward feeling better. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps adults navigate life’s challenges with compassion, collaboration, and practical tools for lasting change. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship conflict, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore what’s holding you back and discover new ways forward.

My therapeutic style is warm, down-to-earth, and centered on your unique needs. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based, and person-centered approaches—blending evidence-based techniques with genuine human connection. Together, we’ll identify patterns that no longer serve you and build on your strengths to create a more balanced, fulfilling life.

I work with adults across all stages of life, including those navigating career changes, caregiving roles, or life transitions in later adulthood. I believe healing and growth are possible at any age.

If you’re ready to start your journey toward greater peace and self-understanding, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Let’s take that next step together.
