TJ Thurlow

I am a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I came to this profession as a second career after working in data analysis and IT. I completed my education at Rush University, MSN and DNP. I have worked in an integrated health clinic, providing a wholistic approach to patient care, I transitioned to providing medication management and brief psychotherapy services to the same population. I am excited to continue providing whole person evidence based psychiatric care.

My goal to create a space where patients can share their experiences and concerns without judgment. I take time to listen to better understand each patient’s needs. It is my goal for the patient to leave an appointment with a solid understanding of the treatment plan and the confidence to take the appropriate steps to achieve success.

My areas of specialty include, management of LGBTQIA+ mental health, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, psychotic disorders, OCD, substance use treatment, and PTSD.

I want my clients to leave each session with the confidence to implement the plan we have created together.
