Salwa Syed, APRN, NP, PMHNP

Adult Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
IL
I am a board-certified Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner here at Preferred Behavior Health. I provide detailed, compassionate, patient-centered mental health care to adolescents and adults. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions and bring over four years of nursing experience, including work in critical care, school-based health, and outpatient psychiatry. My clinical training includes comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management for conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, psychotic disorders, and substance use concerns. I take a trauma-informed, collaborative approach to care, focusing on understanding each patient’s unique experiences, strengths, and goals. I believe in building strong therapeutic relationships and creating a safe, supportive environment where patients feel heard and respected. My approach blends evidence-based treatment with thoughtful education and shared decision-making, so patients feel empowered and informed throughout their care. I am deeply committed to mental health equity, advocacy, and ongoing professional growth to provide the highest quality care possible.

What should a new client know about working with you?

New clients should know that I take a holistic and patient-centered approach to care. I believe in truly listening and creating a safe, respectful space where you feel heard and understood. My goal is not just to manage symptoms, but to work collaboratively with you to understand the deeper factors contributing to what you’re experiencing. I value transparency, thoughtful discussion, and individualized treatment planning.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My process begins with a thorough and comprehensive assessment. We explore not only your current symptoms, but also psychological, medical, lifestyle, and social stressors that may be impacting your mental health. From there, we develop a personalized treatment plan that may include therapy recommendations, lifestyle adjustments, and when appropriate, medication management. Follow-up visits focus on monitoring progress, making adjustments as needed, and ensuring you feel supported throughout your care.
