Getting to know Esther Shadare
Hi there, I'm Esther!
I'm Dr. Shadare, a psychiatric nurse practitioner devoted to advancing mental health awareness and reducing stigma. I'm passionate about serving diverse populations with a holistic approach that honors the connection between mental and physical health. My work is guided by empathy and a deep commitment to individualized, patient-centered care.
My focus
I work with diverse individuals from various cultural backgrounds, ages six and above. I feel most comfortable treating anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, schizophreniform disorders, OCD, ADHD, substance use disorders, PTSD, and trauma-related issues.
My approach
My approach is rooted in holistic, patient-centered care. I believe mental and physical health are intricately connected, so I treat the whole person rather than just symptoms. This perspective allows me to tailor interventions to each individual's unique needs while creating a safe, empathetic environment where you feel valued and understood.
My communication style
Working with me feels collaborative and empowering. I encourage you to take an active role in your treatment, giving you a sense of agency and ownership over your mental health journey. My holistic approach means we explore both mental and physical aspects of wellbeing, helping you see the interconnectedness of your experiences.
My journey to mental healthcare
Early in my career, I witnessed a woman in crisis who was medically restrained yet praying fervently for healing. Her struggle to accept her mental illness while holding onto her faith ignited a passion in me to help individuals understand their mental health, accept their diagnoses, and work toward wellness.
My goals for you
I use a collaborative and individualized approach to help you reach your goals. Every person is different, so we'll set realistic, attainable goals together and work toward them at a pace that honors your unique journey.
