Manju Chandran, APRN, RN

Adult Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
FL
am Manju Chandran, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with over 23 years of nursing experience and more than five years of experience providing psychiatric care in both inpatient and outpatient settings. My clinical background has allowed me to develop a strong understanding of the assessment and management of complex mental health conditions. I work with individuals managing depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, using a personalized approach that integrates therapy with the lowest effective dose of medication when indicated. My goal is to support patients in achieving greater emotional stability, improving daily functioning, and minimizing treatment side effects. My practice emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration. I believe that when patients understand their condition and the rationale behind treatment decisions, they are more engaged and confident in their care. I incorporate psychoeducation and supportive psychotherapy to help patients—and when appropriate, their families or caregivers—develop insight, reduce stigma, and strengthen support systems. In the initial visit, we begin with brief introductions and then focus on understanding current concerns, symptoms, and goals. This allows us to develop a thoughtful plan that can be refined over time in follow-up sessions. I strive to provide a supportive environment where patients feel heard, informed, and actively involved in their mental health care.

What should a new client know about working with you?

New clients should know that I take a collaborative, respectful, and individualized approach to care. I focus on understanding your concerns, symptoms, and goals so we can develop a treatment plan that fits your needs. My work often combines supportive psychotherapy, psychoeducation, and medication management when appropriate, using the lowest effective dose. I aim to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard, informed, and actively involved in your mental health care.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My process begins with an initial session focused on understanding your concerns, symptoms, history, and goals for treatment. From there, we develop an individualized plan that may include psychoeducation, supportive psychotherapy, and medication management when appropriate, using the lowest effective dose. Follow-up visits are used to monitor progress, adjust treatment as needed, address side effects, and strengthen coping strategies. Throughout care, I emphasize collaboration, open communication, and helping you feel informed and actively involved in your treatment.
