Denise Chandler, APRN, FNP-C, PMHNP Family Nurse Practitioner • Psychiatric Mental Health Practitioner • Women’s Health Specialist

Hello, my name is Denise Chandler. I have been an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse since 2011 and bring more than 23 years of nursing experience. I hold Master’s degrees in Nursing Healthcare Education and Family Practice and am certified in both Family Practice and Psychiatric Mental Health.

For over a decade, I worked exclusively in Women’s Health Care, where I developed a deep understanding of how hormonal changes affect physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Today, I provide care for men, women, and youth ages 14 and older who may be experiencing hormone-related changes, mood disorders, or life transitions.

Common concerns I treat include menopause, perimenopause, PMDD, puberty, and menstrual irregularities such as dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, and anemia. I also address sexual health concerns like painful sex, orgasmic dysfunction, and low libido, as well as ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, panic, insomnia, stress, fatigue, and weight management challenges.

My approach emphasizes whole-person care. I order lab work when needed, use genetic testing to guide safer medication choices, and educate on vitamins and supplements that may support healing. I frequently collaborate with therapists and counselors to enhance outcomes.

With clinical experience in neurology, cardiology, mental health, emergency medicine, gynecology, and obstetrics, and years as an educator, I make complex health concepts simple and actionable. Whether in person or virtually, I create a safe, open environment where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to restore balance and improve quality of life.

Hi everyone! My name is Ivy, and I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner based in Orlando, FL.

I am a 28 year old female (she/her) that enjoys watching anime, playing video games, and spending time with my five cats.

Outside of work, I like to spend time with my fiance. We love to explore and try new food places, so if you're looking for recommendations, I have tons!

I practiced internal medicine for several years before entering the field of psychiatry as a PMHNP-BC. My background gives me unique insights and perspectives when I meet with patients. I believe everybody has a unique story and our story affects our mind and our body.

New ADHD patients must be willing to go for neuropsych testing. ADHD patients already diagnosed and on medications transferring to me do not need to do testing. I do not write benzos for daily use.

I am a second-generation Filipino American and millennial Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). My approach to care is integrative, patient-centered, and culturally responsive. I value collaboration, education, and safety, and I believe mental health care works best when it honors your lived experience, values, and goals. My role is to partner with you—not direct you—so we can make informed decisions together.

I help professionals navigate and overcome mental health hurdles for enhanced success and well-being, by fostering resilience through personalized treatment.
