Hello, I'm Kristine Ashley Garcia, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with 11 years of experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from James Madison University and earned my Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Virginia.

I have extensive training in functional medicine and am currently a fellow in the Functional & Integrative Psychiatry Fellowship. My approach is collaborative, empathetic, and tailored to your unique needs. I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and sleep disorders, with a focus on stabilizing mental health and building a strong foundation for long-term wellness. I am committed to helping you achieve balance and empowerment in your mental health journey. Treatment philosophy: I believe in a deeply collaborative approach to mental health care, focusing on understanding your unique needs. My goal is to empower you through a supportive, welcoming environment where we work together to create a personalized treatment plan. By combining traditional psychiatric care with integrative approaches, I aim to stabilize your mental health while building a solid foundation for long-term wellness.

I am a board certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, and am certified in Perinatal Mental Health. I can provide psychiatric evaluations, prescribe medications and be a part of your support system. The majority of my experience has been with very vulnerable populations, those with chronic and persistent mental illness, people experiencing homelessness or substance use disorders, and those who lack access to healthcare. I was trained in New York City, received my Bachelors from NYU and my Masters from Hunter College. I specialize in mood and anxiety disorders, and have a special interest, and certification, in perinatal mental health. Pregnancy and parenthood bring forth a unique set of mental health concerns, and I am passionate about helping new parents through this time in their lives. I believe in treating the person as a whole person. I take a collaborative approach and utilize shared decision making in your treatment. My goal is to help you feel well, and like yourself. As a nurse, I believe that healing happens through our therapeutic relationship, and feel very privileged to be a part of your healing journey.
