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.

My Approach to Care

My approach to care is rooted in the belief that physical health, emotional well-being, and mental health are deeply connected. Over the years, I’ve learned that symptoms such as fatigue, stress, anxiety, depression, poor sleep, or low motivation often have underlying causes that go beyond mental health alone.

I take a whole-person approach by looking at how factors like vitamin deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, methylation issues, insufficient nutrition, and lack of exercise may be impacting overall well-being. To guide care, I frequently order lab work, use genetic testing when needed, and prescribe medication when it is the right fit.

My sessions are built on listening and collaboration. I use motivational interviewing and open discussion to better understand your goals, what has worked or not worked in the past, and what support you need moving forward. This helps you feel heard, valued, and actively involved in your treatment plan.

Every client is unique, which is why I focus on creating personalized solutions—whether that’s balancing hormones, adjusting medication, improving nutrition, recommending therapy, or making small lifestyle changes that create lasting impact.

My goal is to empower clients with knowledge, options, and encouragement so they can move toward improved health, balance, and quality of life.

What Clients Can Expect

After a session with me, clients can expect to leave with:

• Clarity and understanding – insight into how physical health, hormones, and lifestyle may be affecting emotional and mental well-being.
• A personalized plan – tailored recommendations that may include lab testing, supplements, medications, therapy referrals, or lifestyle adjustments.
• Support and validation – the experience of being truly heard, understood, and respected in a safe, judgment-free environment.
• Practical next steps – clear, actionable strategies that help reduce overwhelm and move you closer to feeling balanced and well.
• Empowerment and choice – knowledge of options so you can actively participate in your care and feel confident about your health decisions.

Ultimately, my clients walk away with hope, direction, and a sense of partnership in their healing journey.
