Chandni Chaudhry

I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who began my career at the Dent Neurologic Institute, where I focused on the connection between brain function and mental health. I am a good listener and devote much of my appointment time to understanding patient concerns and treatment expectations. This helps me provide consistently positive outcomes without relying on polypharmacy or a hit-and-trial approach. My psychiatric practice is rooted in my knowledge of how different neurotransmitters influence mood, memory, intellect, and cognition, shaping each person’s unique experience.

When I create a treatment plan, I look at the whole person and not just their symptoms. I consider factors such as age, hormones, gender, developmental stage, lifestyle influences, and stressors. I also take into account a person’s history including upbringing, academic progress, and any trauma/adverse events while keeping in mind brain development, neurological conditions, or disabilities.

I believe in setting smaller, achievable goals with an incremental model toward therapeutic results. My goal is for clients to feel involved, empowered, and in control of their treatment journey.
