About Me

Sara Gena Israel, PMHNP-BC is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides telehealth psychiatric care to teens, women and adults in Florida and Maryland.

Her practice centers on medication management paired with solution-focused, goal-oriented support for conditions including ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, OCD, PTSD and postpartum concerns.

Sara’s approach blends conventional psychiatry with lifestyle medicine principles addressing the full picture of mental wellness rather than symptoms alone.

Lifestyle Psychiatry for Women and Teen Girls

Sara’s core specialty is an integrative, whole-person approach to psychiatric care with a particular emphasis on women and adolescent girls.

Drawing on over 20 years of nursing experience in emergency and intensive care settings, she brings a grounded clinical perspective to every treatment plan.

Her practice uniquely incorporates lifestyle psychiatry, exploring how hormonal patterns, metabolic factors, nutrition and daily habits connect to mood and mental health.

Sessions are structured around practical, client-centered goals and may include motivational interviewing, positive psychology and solution-focused brief therapy techniques alongside medication management.

When longer-term therapy is needed, Sara provides referrals to ensure clients get the right level of support.

Faith-Sensitive and Culturally Affirming Care

Sara offers faith-sensitive care, including the option to integrate Christian principles into treatment when desired while warmly welcoming clients of all backgrounds and beliefs.

Her multicultural and person-centered approach reflects a commitment to inclusive, respectful psychiatric care for diverse communities.
