About Me
A Compassionate Partner in Mental Health
Hello and Welcome!
I’m Sara, a dedicated mental health professional committed to helping women and girls regain emotional balance, resilience, and well-being. With over 20 years of nursing experience in emergency and intensive care units and board certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide thoughtful, evidence-based care for hormonal mood disorders, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other mental health challenges affecting women and girls.
At Balanced Mind Mental Health, I practice lifestyle psychiatry, blending traditional psychiatric care with nutritional psychiatry principles and Lifestyle Medicine informed strategies, with particular attention to hormonal patterns and daily habits that influence mental health. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, I take a comprehensive whole person approach that considers the many influences on emotional well-being. My services are designed to empower you throughout your healing journey.
My approach reflects a broader transformation in healthcare, shifting from disease management to health creation, from reactive to proactive care, and from fragmented to integrated care. I am committed to ongoing learning and professional development in Lifestyle Medicine and integrative psychiatry to continually enhance the care I provide.
Care includes medication management alongside lifestyle based support tailored to individual needs. Grounded in an understanding of mind-body-spirit connections, I integrate faith and biblical principles into the care process while always respecting each client’s beliefs and preferences. I listen deeply to your concerns and goals, working collaboratively with you to create a personalized plan that supports your mental health and overall well-being.
I look forward to supporting your journey toward a healthier, more balanced you.
With care,
Sara Gena Israel, APRN, PMHNP-BC
