ABOUT US
About Nina Patel, PMHNP-BC
Compassionate Psychiatric Care Rooted in Experience and Understanding
I’m Nina Patel, MS, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Attention Psychiatry. My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care while helping patients feel understood, supported, and empowered throughout their mental health journey.
I have over five years of experience as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, providing evaluation and treatment for children, adolescents, and adults with a variety of mental health concerns, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and emotional regulation challenges. I have developed a special interest in ADHD care and helping individuals better understand their symptoms, recognize their strengths, and develop personalized treatment plans that support their goals.
Before becoming a Nurse Practitioner, I worked as a psychiatric registered nurse, where I developed a strong foundation in mental health care and gained experience supporting individuals experiencing a wide range of psychiatric conditions. I currently continue to provide psychiatric care in an inpatient psychiatric setting as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, where I work with individuals experiencing complex mental health challenges. These experiences have strengthened my understanding of the importance of compassionate, comprehensive, and individualized psychiatric treatment.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) from Anderson University. I currently provide outpatient psychiatric care in Pennsylvania, continuing to support patients through medication management, psychiatric evaluation, and collaborative treatment planning.
My interest in ADHD and neurodiversity is also shaped by personal understanding and perspective. Growing up, I experienced many of the challenges that individuals with ADHD may encounter, including struggles with school, organization, relationships, and navigating everyday expectations. These experiences have given me a deeper appreciation for how ADHD can affect confidence, self-esteem, and daily functioning—not just symptoms listed on a page.
Having personal experience with neurodivergence within my family has also strengthened my understanding of the importance of recognizing each person’s individual strengths and needs. I believe that differences in how people think, learn, and process the world should be understood and supported rather than viewed only as challenges.
At Attention Psychiatry, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment where patients feel heard and understood. By combining clinical expertise, evidence-based treatment, and personal perspective, my goal is to help patients gain clarity, improve emotional well-being, and move toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.
