Gia Short

Hi, I’m Gia Short, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of MindSculpt Psychiatry. I work with adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, and weight or binge-eating related concerns. With a background in both nursing and mental health care, I aim to provide thoughtful, individualized treatment that feels approachable and realistic. I’m passionate about helping clients better understand themselves while building healthier routines, balance, and confidence in their daily lives.

I believe mental health care works best when clients feel respected, understood, and actively involved in treatment decisions. My style is compassionate, open-minded, and goal-oriented, with a focus on creating practical strategies that support long-term progress. I incorporate medication management, supportive therapy, and education to help clients manage symptoms while improving overall functioning and emotional well-being. Every treatment plan is tailored to fit the individual, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and build a clear understanding of what’s bringing you in for care. We’ll review your symptoms, mental health history, lifestyle factors, and any goals or concerns you may have about treatment. I create a calm, supportive space where clients can speak openly without fear of judgment or pressure. By the end of the visit, we’ll discuss next steps and begin developing a treatment plan that feels manageable and aligned with your needs.
