Psychiatric Mental Health NP

I believe mental health care should feel collaborative, compassionate, and free of judgment. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, understood, and supported throughout your treatment journey.


I specialize in women's mental health, including anxiety, depression, pregnancy (antepartum), postpartum mental health, life transitions, and the unique emotional challenges women experience across different stages of life. Whether you're preparing for motherhood, adjusting after delivery, balancing career and family, or navigating everyday stress, I strive to provide personalized, evidence-based care tailored to your goals.


My approach is warm, patient-centered, and collaborative. I take the time to understand your story, educate you about your treatment options, and develop a plan that aligns with your values and lifestyle. I believe the best outcomes happen when patients feel empowered to participate in their care and have a provider they can trust.

Patricia Grady

Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


It takes real courage to decide you want something to change. Over 28 years, across military

installations, shelters, and community agencies, I have watched people discover capacities

for growth they did not know they had. I believe relationships are the engine of that change:

our brains and bodies are wired for connection, and healing happens in relationship. I create

a space of safety, respect, and authenticity, where you bring the expertise of your own life

and story, and I bring my clinical experience to support the process. I would be honored to

work alongside you.
