Dr. Carline Jean-Philippe

I am a dual board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 14 years of healthcare experience caring for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I earned my BSN from Nova Southeastern University, MSN-FNP from the University of South Alabama, Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from the University of Florida, and Post-Master's PMHNP certificate from Wilkes University.

My background includes intensive care, family medicine, urgent care, oncology, thoracic surgery, correctional healthcare, and outpatient psychiatry. This diverse experience allows me to understand the connection between physical and mental health while providing compassionate, evidence-based care.

I specialize in evaluating and treating anxiety, depression, panic disorder, PTSD and trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, insomnia, stress and burnout, adjustment disorders, grief, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, women's mental health, postpartum depression and anxiety, and life transitions. I also work with individuals experiencing emotional dysregulation, caregiver stress, and co-occurring mental health conditions.

My approach is collaborative, holistic, and individualized. I combine medication management with evidence-based therapy techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), supportive therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, psychoeducation, and strengths-based interventions. I believe every person deserves to feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their journey.

I strive to create a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment where you can openly discuss your concerns and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

My approach to care is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based. I believe that every individual deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported in a safe, judgment-free environment. I take time to understand each person's unique experiences, strengths, and goals before developing a personalized treatment plan.

I use a holistic approach that recognizes the connection between mental and physical health. When appropriate, I combine medication management with evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), supportive therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, and psychoeducation. I emphasize shared decision-making, ensuring that clients understand their treatment options and are active participants in their care.

My goal is not only to reduce symptoms but also to help clients build healthy coping skills, strengthen resilience, improve relationships, and achieve long-term emotional wellness. Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, life transitions, or other mental health challenges, I am committed to providing compassionate, individualized care that empowers you to make meaningful and lasting progress.

During your first session, my priority is getting to know you and understanding what brought you to seek care. We will discuss your current concerns, symptoms, medical and mental health history, medications, family history, lifestyle, and any significant life experiences that may be affecting your well-being. This is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and share your goals for treatment.

If appropriate, we will review possible diagnoses, discuss treatment options, and develop a personalized care plan that may include medication management, therapy-based strategies, lifestyle recommendations, or a combination of these approaches. If medication is recommended, I will explain the benefits, potential side effects, and what to expect so you can make an informed decision.

My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself. By the end of the session, you will have a better understanding of your symptoms, a clear treatment plan, and the next steps to help you move toward improved mental health and overall well-being.
