Gia Short

As a PMHNP, I conduct comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, diagnose a range of mental health conditions, and develop personalized treatment plans that integrate medication management and supportive therapy.

Successes include: • Achieving high patient satisfaction through empathetic, culturally sensitive care • Improving treatment adherence with clear education and collaborative planning • Effectively managing complex cases with co-occurring conditions • Reducing symptom severity and crisis episodes through early intervention and consistent follow-up • Building trust and continuity in care for underserved and stigmatized communities

• Performed in-person psychiatric evaluations and diagnostic assessments • Developed and managed individualized treatment plans for diverse populations • Prescribed and monitored psychotropic medications • Delivered brief supportive therapy and patient education • Collaborated closely with primary care providers and behavioral health teams • Documented all encounters and treatment plans in the EHR in accordance with compliance • Provided crisis intervention and managed acute mental health needs as necessary • Promoted culturally competent, trauma-informed care to improve patient outcomes
