Denise Chandler, APRN, FNP-C, PMHNP Family Nurse Practitioner • Psychiatric Mental Health Practitioner • Women’s Health Specialist

Hello, my name is Denise Chandler. I have been an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse since 2011 and bring more than 23 years of nursing experience. I hold Master’s degrees in Nursing Healthcare Education and Family Practice and am certified in both Family Practice and Psychiatric Mental Health.

For over a decade, I worked exclusively in Women’s Health Care, where I developed a deep understanding of how hormonal changes affect physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Today, I provide care for men, women, and youth ages 14 and older who may be experiencing hormone-related changes, mood disorders, or life transitions.

Common concerns I treat include menopause, perimenopause, PMDD, puberty, and menstrual irregularities such as dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, and anemia. I also address sexual health concerns like painful sex, orgasmic dysfunction, and low libido, as well as ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, panic, insomnia, stress, fatigue, and weight management challenges.

My approach emphasizes whole-person care. I order lab work when needed, use genetic testing to guide safer medication choices, and educate on vitamins and supplements that may support healing. I frequently collaborate with therapists and counselors to enhance outcomes.

With clinical experience in neurology, cardiology, mental health, emergency medicine, gynecology, and obstetrics, and years as an educator, I make complex health concepts simple and actionable. Whether in person or virtually, I create a safe, open environment where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to restore balance and improve quality of life.

I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner with a nursing and counseling career spanning over 25 years. I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Developmental Psychology from Ohio State University in 2000, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Otterbein University in 2006, a Master of Science in Nursing from Otterbein University in 2013 and a Doctor of Nursing Practice (Psychiatric-Mental Health Lifespan) at Rush University in 2016. I've taught as a clinical instructor and preceptor at both undergraduate and graduate levels. I have experience working in inpatient, outpatient and residential settings with patients ranging from adolescents to octogenarians. Much of my career has been specializing in substance use disorders, although I am happy to treat a broad range of mental health, as well as dual diagnosis. I am passionate about mental wellness and I enjoy helping people be the best version of themselves!
