Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New Mexico


Seeking help isn't always easy, and I believe finding the right provider should feel like a good fit, not just another appointment. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), my goal is to create a space where you can speak openly, feel genuinely heard, and know that we're working together as a team.

I enjoy caring for individuals across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I treat anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma-related concerns, OCD, insomnia, and other mental health challenges. I also help people navigate grief, life transitions, caregiver stress, and the emotional impact that chronic medical conditions can have on everyday life.

I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every person has a different story, and treatment should reflect that. Whether we're discussing medication, coping strategies, or lifestyle changes, I want you to feel informed, comfortable asking questions, and involved in every decision we make.

My hope is that you leave each appointment feeling understood, supported, and with a clear plan for moving forward.

Giovanna Skylar

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Albuquerque, NM


I am a double board-certified Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience across the continuum of psychiatric care, including acute psychiatric emergencies, inpatient and outpatient psychiatry, geriatric mental health, intellectual and developmental disability services, and healthcare management. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and am currently completing my Doctorate, reflecting my ongoing commitment to clinical excellence, evidence-based practice, and lifelong learning.

Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals and families navigating a wide range of psychiatric conditions, from situational anxiety and depression to severe and persistent mental illness. My clinical experience includes extensive work with schizophrenia and psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma-related conditions, and mood instability across the lifespan. I am particularly experienced in caring for geriatric patients, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and patients with complex medication regimens requiring careful evaluation, simplification, and long-term stabilization.

I also work closely with college-aged patients and adults who are navigating academic pressure, career transitions, family dynamics, identity development, and the cumulative stressors that can emerge during periods of high responsibility or change. Many of my patients are high-functioning individuals who appear “put together” on the outside but struggle internally with anxiety, rumination, intrusive thoughts, emotional dysregulation, or burnout. Others are managing chronic psychiatric illness while striving to maintain independence, relationships, and quality of life.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Albuquerque

Finding OCD therapists in Albuquerque starts with looking for the right training, not just the right location. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsive checking, contamination concerns, reassurance seeking, or mental rituals. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some providers use to support people with OCD, and not every therapist has training in it. As you compare therapists, look for bios that name OCD, ERP, anxiety-related concerns, or obsessive thoughts as listed specialties.

Albuquerque offers a mix of local offices and virtual therapy options, which can help you balance location, schedule, and clinical fit. If in-person OCD therapy near you matters, review office location, appointment availability, and whether the therapist is accepting new patients. If local openings are limited or your schedule is less flexible, virtual sessions may give you more options. Therapist profiles can also help you tell the difference between someone who lists OCD as a general area of focus and someone who describes specific ERP training or experience with OCD assessment and support.

Therapy in Albuquerque can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who focus on OCD and offer virtual or in-person appointments. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for Albuquerque and your specific plan. You can compare bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
