Janice Cahambing PMHNP-BC, ANP-BC, MSN, RN is a dual-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Adult Primary Care Nurse Practitioner with 20+ years of healthcare experience. She passionately encourages patients to prioritize their health and wellness. Mood Wellness assists patients in cultivating balanced lifestyles and mental health routines.

Life can throw us a lot of curveballs! Even happy things like relationships, pregnancies, babies, new jobs, new moves, and new places can disrupt our mental health and leave us feeling anxious or depressed. If you’re feeling less like yourself, with anxious thoughts, trouble sleeping, trouble making decisions, difficulty motivating or just feeling like your new life wasn’t what you expected, a therapist can help get you on a new path towards healing and connection.  As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I help people learn new ways to manage feelings of anxiety and walk with you while you work through your life transitions. I help teens and adults like you struggling with your new world and help you look forward to the future again. I am also trained to work with kids, teens and adults manage Tourette’s with CBIT.

Having over 20 years of experience, I specialize in guiding and supporting individuals as they navigate complex relationship issues. Many are family members who have loved ones that struggle with addiction. I help people resolve unhealed emotions and break patterns they’ve been stuck in so they can grow in setting limits, building confidence, and feeling better.
