Hello, I'm Carol Chisanga, a dedicated and compassionate Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC APRN-CNP). My mission is to make mental healthcare accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial background. With a master's degree in Mental Health Nursing from Walden University, I am further enhancing my skills by pursuing a Doctorate in Nursing Practice (DNP). Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience in various healthcare settings. This has allowed me to refine my skills in patient care, crisis intervention, and effective medication management. At Great Hope Psychiatry I completed a comprehensive clinical hour's rotation, where I became proficient in techniques like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and telehealth. I am passionate about bridging the gap in mental healthcare access through my Psychiatric/behavioral telehealth service. I treat a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and general mental health. Licensed in both Texas and Florida. Providing high-quality, compassionate patient centered care through the convenience of telehealth. My leadership experience in diverse healthcare environments has strengthened my commitment to delivering outstanding patient care. Whether working with adolescents, adults, or elderly patients, my priority is to offer compassionate care. I am dedicated to truly listening to my patients, understanding their unique needs, and guiding them through their mental health journeys with empathy and expertise. TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: I believe in providing compassionate, patient-centered care that addresses the whole person. My approach is grounded in understanding each patient’s unique needs, fostering a trusting relationship, and promoting open communication.

My professional career has always centered around mental and behavioral health. I have seen and been a part of amazing community efforts to empower the lives of individuals living with a severe and persistent mental illness. Working as part of the assertive community treatment (ACT) team allowed me to step into the homes of adults diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar I, schizoaffective disorder, substance use disorders, and major depressive disorder. I understand how challenging it is in multiple aspects of life, including maintaining relationships and jobs that are vital. I have also worked in inpatient facilities as a psychiatric registered nurse and have a lot of clinical experience as a psychiatric nurse practitioner assisting children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder, conduct disorders, mood disorders, and personality disorders. I know the process is challenging for both the parents and children trying to navigate their diagnosis. But we are not our diagnoses. And, it is okay to reach out for help when needed. I feel confident in assisting those across the lifespan in managing medication that can change this narrative. I will conduct a personalized initial intake, take my time to ask your goals, and begin medication that is right for you.
