Dr. Sharonda Moore-Forehand
Psychiatric Mental Health NP
Virtual & in-person • 2 mi away • Princeton, 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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Princeton
Searching for therapists in Princeton starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may fit your needs. Princeton therapists may support people working through anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to address. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other methods that fit your goals.
In a smaller city like Princeton, the local supply of in-person therapists may vary by specialty, schedule, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options across New Jersey while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in the state. As you narrow your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist profiles before you book can also show how they describe their communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns like yours.
Therapy in Princeton can be a significant investment 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 search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person appointments when available. You can browse Princeton therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
