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.

Adulthood can be an exciting time of growth and independence, but it can also come with overwhelming pressure, anxiety, self-doubt, relationship challenges, and uncertainty about the future. I work with teens and young adults who may be struggling to manage academic demands, navigate friendships and relationships, build confidence, or adjust to the many transitions that come with this stage of life. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can better understand yourself, develop practical coping skills, and feel more confident navigating life on your own terms.
