Hello, My name is Madelyn Hindia, and I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner based in Illinois. I offer telehealth services to provide convenient care with flexible scheduling options, including early mornings, late evenings, and some weekends. I specialize in perinatal mental health, women’s mental health, and sexual dysfunction, but welcome patients of all genders aged 10 and up with various psychiatric disorders. I provide both medication management and therapy, focusing on empathetic, non-judgmental, and patient-centered care. I believe in a collaborative approach that involves patients in their treatment decisions. Beyond pharmacology, I am also open to discussing holistic and lifestyle changes that can enhance mental well-being. Please feel free to reach out to me for any psychiatric care needs.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In the first session, clients can expect a welcoming and safe environment where they can share their concerns and experiences. The session primarily focuses on understanding the client's background, health history, and the specific issues they are dealing with. I will ask questions to gain a comprehensive view of their mental health, lifestyle, and any previous treatments they've undergone. This initial meeting is also an opportunity for clients to set their goals for therapy and discuss their expectations. I'll explain the various treatment options available, including medication management and therapeutic approaches, and we'll begin to outline a personalized treatment plan. The goal is to establish a rapport and a trust-based relationship, ensuring clients feel heard and understood.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths as a provider include: Specialized Expertise: My certifications in perinatal mental health, women’s mental health, and sexual dysfunction equip me with specialized knowledge to address these complex areas effectively. Empathy and Non-Judgment: I prioritize creating a supportive, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to express themselves and explore their emotions and thoughts. Patient-Centered Approach: I believe in tailoring treatments to the individual needs of my clients, involving them in all decisions to ensure they feel empowered and engaged in their journey to better mental health. Accessibility: Offering telehealth appointments and flexible scheduling helps me provide care that fits into the busy lives of my clients, ensuring they can receive help when and where they need it. Holistic Perspectives: Understanding that medication is not the sole answer, I am committed to integrating holistic and lifestyle changes that can enhance overall mental health and well-being.
