Getting to know Sara Israel
Hi there, I'm Sara!
Sara Gena Israel, APRN, PMHNP-BC, license number AC003803, is a dedicated board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Combining traditional and evidenced-based practices with holistic strategies, she integrates medication management with healthy lifestyle behaviors, promoting regular exercise, mindful eating, healthful diets, and appropriate medication when necessary. Providing empathetic care to children, adolescents, and adults, Sara empowers patients to achieve balance and well-being through personalized treatment plans and lifestyle modifications.
My approach
My approach to providing mental healthcare is holistic and patient-centered, integrating traditional, evidence-based practices with supplemental holistic strategies. Common theoretical approaches I employ include medication management, supportive therapy, and healthy lifestyle interventions. By addressing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, I develop personalized treatment plans that encompass nutrition, body chemistry, mental health, and spirituality, aimed at promoting total well-being and balance.
My focus
I empower young minds starting from the age of 8 and extend my care to women up to 60 years old, with men also welcome. I specialize in treating a variety of mental health conditions, with a particular focus on child and adolescent disruptive behaviors, impulse-control issues, ADHD, depression, mood disorders, anxiety, and women's mental health concerns. My compassionate and personalized approach ensures that each individual feels understood and supported on their journey to well-being.

I strive to create a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment for my patients. Working with me feels supportive and empowering, as I focus on individualized care and fostering a strong therapeutic relationship. My patients describe their experience as both empowering and motivational as I aim to inspire and encourage positive change and self-improvement.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey to becoming a mental healthcare provider began during my tenure as an emergency room nurse, where I witnessed firsthand the profound impact that unmanaged mental health conditions can have on every aspect of a person's life. This experience fueled my determination to dismantle the stigma surrounding mental health care by creating a safe, supportive, and easily accessible environment for clients to seek help. My ultimate goal is to break societal stereotypes and ensure that everyone receives the compassionate care they deserve.
