Hi! My name is Chau. I’m a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Yale Assistant Clinical Professor specializing in women's mental health, particularly depression and anxiety. I have a special interest in helping women become the best version of themselves through mental and physical wellness. I believe there are many paths to healing and recovery and that medication can be just one part of the equation. I incorporate evidence-based practices such as vitamins and supplements, sleep interventions, physical activity, mindfulness approaches, and more. Above all, I believe that every person has the right to compassionate, non-judgmental care that is tailored to their individual needs.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During your first visit with me, you can expect to feel a sense of relief that you are in good hands. We will have a conversation and together develop a comprehensive treatment plan that will take into account your history, life experiences, lifestyle, and views on medication and holistic treatments. I collaborate with a psychiatrist to make sure you receive the best, appropriate care to reach your goals.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
As a psych NP, I bring a unique perspective to my practice, shaped by both my professional expertise and personal experiences. As a mother of an infant and toddler, I understand the incredible joys and challenges that come with raising a family. Having experienced postpartum depression myself, I recognize the complexities of balancing multiple roles and the impact it can have on your mental health.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
New moms, women suffering from postpartum depression, women going through life transitions. I have a special interest in helping women become the best version of themselves through mental and physical wellness.
Integrative
While I primarily prescribe medications, I use an integrative and holistic approach where I incorporate vitamins, supplements, patient education on sleep hygiene, mindfulness techniques, and more.

Really felt heard and recognized. Chau did a great job at easing my anxiety from the beginning

She was warm and honest. For me it’s important that my Dr feels like a human being and I don’t feel like a number, and I don’t see that being an issue with her so far.

Chau is a really incredible provider that takes the time to get to know her patients and move through an understanding approach. I feel very comfortable working with her and she leaves room for me to be completely transparent about any concerns and ask any questions. I leave our appointments feeling heard and have a great understanding to the plan she has provided for me.
