Welcome! I’m Sara Gena Israel, a psychiatric nurse practitioner serving clients in Florida and Maryland. I provide medication management with an integrative, lifestyle-based approach for adult women experiencing mood, anxiety, attention-related, and hormone-related concerns. My practice has a special focus on women’s mental health and hormonal mental health, including concerns related to reproductive transitions, postpartum emotional health, PMDD, and perimenopausal mood changes. I blend traditional psychiatry with lifestyle and nutritional psychiatry, with a focus on nutrition, sleep, stress management, and metabolic health. With over 20 years of nursing experience, I prioritize listening closely and working collaboratively to create personalized treatment plans that support whole-person mental health and overall well-being. My practice is fully telehealth-based, and services are centered on psychiatric evaluation and medication management. Individuals seeking in-person care or services outside this clinical scope may be better supported by another provider.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Get ready for a welcoming, judgment-free conversation. Our first session is a 60-minute telehealth appointment where you can openly share your experiences, concerns, and challenges. My goal is to understand your emotional and mental well-being, explore your medical and mental health history, lifestyle patterns, sleep, stress, and factors that may be contributing to your symptoms, and begin developing a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. This session is focused on listening, understanding, and establishing the foundation for thoughtful, individualized psychiatric care.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strength is helping clients move toward a well-balanced lifestyle through a whole-person approach that addresses both psychiatric symptoms and the lifestyle patterns influencing mental health. I focus on the connection between mental wellness and factors such as nutrition, sleep, stress, movement, and meaningful social connection. My approach is grounded in lifestyle psychiatry and the principles of lifestyle medicine, incorporating elements of nutritional psychiatry to complement traditional treatment. I work collaboratively with each client to understand factors contributing to their mental health while supporting practical and sustainable lifestyle changes that promote emotional resilience and overall well-being.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am passionate about working with adult women experiencing concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, hormonal mental health concerns, and mood changes related to reproductive and life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or stuck and are seeking thoughtful psychiatric care that considers the whole person. Through comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and a personalized, integrative treatment approach, I work collaboratively with clients to support emotional well-being, improve functioning, and develop individualized treatment plans tailored to their needs and goals.
