Eliza Abouraad

I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing care to both adolescents and adults. I value my work in helping individuals who are looking to better understand themselves and their mental health needs.

Whether you're navigating chronic stress, life transitions, or managing more chronic conditions like anxiety, depression, or ADHD, my goal is to offer a space for exploration without judgment or expectation- a place where you can feel comfortable being yourself while working toward meaningful growth.

I approach care with the belief that getting to know you as a person is just as important as understanding the symptoms that brought you in. I believe in taking the time to thoughtfully evaluate your concerns, understand what may be contributing to them, and consider the role medication may or may not have in your care.

Together, we'll develop an approach to care that reflects your individual needs, goals, and treatment preferences.

When medication is appropriate, I take a thoughtful approach to prescribing and aim to use medication purposefully, while avoiding unnecessary medications.

My care may also include supportive therapy, with an emphasis on self-awareness, agency, and overall well-being.

Our work together will begin with an introductory session focused on getting to know you- your story, what brings you to me, and what you hope from our work together.

This first meeting will also be an opportunity to determine whether working together feels like a good fit. If we decide to move forward, we'll work as a team to identify your needs, establish meaningful yet realistic goals, and develop a plan for working toward them!
