Chantal Flanagan, PMHNP, brings 34 years of extensive experience to the field of psychiatric mental health. She completed her Master of Science in Nursing as a Clinical Nurse Specialist in Child and Adolescent Mental Health at UCSF in 1993, followed by a post-master's certificate as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner from Rush University in 2009. Her diverse clinical background includes providing care across inpatient, intensive outpatient, and outpatient settings for children, adolescents, and adults. While her primary clinical focus involves psychiatric evaluations and medication management, she also integrates brief solution-focused therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Chantal treats a wide range of conditions, including ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, childhood behavior issues, depression, eating disorders, grief, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-partum depression and anxiety, psychosis, schizophrenia, PTSD, trauma, and sleep disorders like insomnia. Known for a nonjudgmental and supportive team-based approach, she strives to help her patients feel at ease throughout the treatment process. Outside of her clinical practice, she finds balance by cooking for her family and hiking with her dog, Zoey, reflecting her belief that mind, body, and spirit are essential to living an optimal life.
