Great to meet you!

You may look capable on the outside while struggling with focus, procrastination, racing thoughts, anxiety, low mood, or exhaustion - and wondering whether ADHD may be contributing. I’m Carolyne Mburu-Gerena, a board-certified PMHNP with 19+ years in healthcare and training in functional medicine. I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adolescents and adults, focusing on ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, and mood disorders.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, integrative, and individualized. I take time to understand your symptoms, medical and medication history, sleep, stress, physical health, daily routines, and goals before recommending a plan. Treatment may include medication management, ADHD assessment and treatment, brief supportive therapy, and practical lifestyle strategies. You will receive clear information and have a voice in every decision. I do not provide ongoing weekly psychotherapy.

What you can expect from me

Your first visit is a comprehensive 60–90 minute evaluation, not a rushed prescription appointment. We will clarify your concerns, review what has and has not helped, discuss possible diagnoses and treatment options, and agree on next steps together. You can expect respectful communication, clear explanations, and a plan tailored to your needs. Appointments are often available within 24–48 hours.
