Nurse Practitioner providing integrative psychiatric care to children 6+, adolescents, and adults through a supportive and evidence-based approach
Online Therapy
My practice philosophy centers on a deep respect for my patients’ autonomy, dignity, and trust in me to honor the sanctity of their stories. With over seventeen years of both outpatient and inpatient psychiatric nursing experience, my approach to struggles with anxiety, depression, and other common and less common mental health problems is driven by humility and dedication to my patients’ goals and preferred cultural sources of belonging and support. Compelled by lived experience, I specialize in psychiatric concerns related to neurodevelopment and neurodivergence, tailoring treatment according to ethical, evidence-based research and guidelines. Along with a balanced strengths-based approach to disability, my commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion similarly translates into sensitivity and diligence with regard to psychopharmacological and psychotherapeutic choices. *Specialties •Mental Health •Adult Psychiatry •Psychiatry •Child Psychiatry •Behavioral Medicine *Conditions treated •Depression •Anxiety •Autism •Sleep problems •ADHD •Insomnia •Bipolar disorders •Schizophrenia •Mood disorders •OCD •Trauma and PTSD *Treatment philosophy My treatment philosophy prioritizes non-judgmental, compassionate, creative, and scientifically rigorous care. I believe that good health is inseparable from peace of mind and that my role as a psychiatric provider is to help you restore and maintain that peace through medication and brief psychotherapy according to symptom severity and type when lifestyle and other therapeutic measures alone aren’t sufficient. I strongly believe that well-being depends on feeling safe, appreciated, and inspired. *Treatment approach •Culturally Sensitive •Humanistic •Person-Focused

Danielle Berju

Danielle Berju, PMHNP-BC
Online Therapy
Hello! I'm Danielle Berju, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and the owner of Healing Tree Holistic Psychiatry. I focus on helping you find the right medications or discontinuing ones that don't work. However, medications are just a part of my approach. I also offer therapy and holistic wellness to help you feel your best. Whether it's anxiety, depression, mood swings, focus issues, or motivation, I'm here to support you. My goal is to make you feel safe, heard, and informed in every treatment decision. I have a Master's in Nursing from the University of Pennsylvania and a Bachelor's from the University of Pittsburgh. I’ve also trained in CBT, DBT, Holistic Nursing, Health Coaching, and Yoga. Before starting my practice, I worked at the Center for Family Guidance and Inspira Health Network for 5 years, handling both outpatient and inpatient care. I have extensive experience in psychiatric evaluations and medication management. Prior to that, I was an RN in various settings, including a crisis response center, addiction medicine, and pediatric behavioral health. Reaching out for help can be tough, but struggling alone is even tougher. Together, we can make it easier and help you feel better. My virtual office is a safe space for everyone, regardless of background. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Please note: As a telehealth-only practice, we do not prescribe controlled medications like stimulants or benzodiazepines due to DEA regulations and our prescribing philosophy. Treatment philosophy: I believe in an integrative approach combining standard practices with holistic treatment. I combine medication, therapy, and holistic wellness to meet each individual's needs. Holistic wellness may include exploring nutrition, exercise, sleep hygiene, stress management, mindfulness techniques, lab testing, supplements, or other complementary treatments. In terms of medications, I believe that it is just as important to get off medications that are not working as it is to get on medications that can help. Due to telehealth only, DEA regulations, and treatment philosophy, I do NOT prescribe any controlled substances. For example, stimulants (ex: adderall) for ADHD or benzodiazepines (ex: xanax) for anxiety. I still treat these conditions, but using other medications and modalities.
