About Me
A Compassionate Partner in Mental Health
Hello and Welcome!
I’m Sara, a dedicated mental health professional committed to your well-being. With over 20 years of nursing experience and board certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I’ve had the privilege of helping children, teens, and adults face depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. My journey in this field has taken me through various settings, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, and emergency facilities, always with a focus on compassionate care.
At Balanced Mind Mental Health, I embrace a holistic approach that integrates evidence-based practices with medication management, healthy lifestyle behaviors, supplementation, supportive therapy, and nutritional guidance. Understanding the connection between mind, body, and spirit, I also incorporate faith and biblical principles into my care while always respecting your personal beliefs.
I believe in addressing the root of the problem rather than just treating the symptoms. Together, we will create personalized treatment plans tailored to your needs, emphasizing nutrition, emotional, mental health, and spiritual well-being. My approach is rooted in understanding your unique journey and empowering you to make positive lifestyle changes while using medication thoughtfully and when necessary.
A balanced lifestyle paves the way to total well-being, and I am delighted to support individuals on their journey to enhanced mental and physical health. I am committed to providing virtual, accessible solutions that value, understand, and empower you. Let’s embark on this journey toward healing and thriving together. Active collaboration is essential, and I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way.
With Care,
Sara Gena Israel, APRN, PMHNP-BC
