Prab Gill, PMHNP-BC, CEO:

Hi! My name is Prab, and I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner dedicated to helping you rise above your challenges and achieve your highest potential. My clinical expertise spans a wide array of conditions, including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, ADHD, and sleep disorders, among others.

With a background in primary care and a focus on holistic and functional medicine, I bring a comprehensive approach to mental health. I’m committed to integrating all aspects of your well-being, helping you achieve both mental and overall health so that you can thrive in every area of your life

  • My approach is rooted in culturally sensitive, evidence-based practices. I believe in the power of personalized care, so I tailor my treatment plans to meet your unique needs. You’ll find our sessions to be a safe, non-judgmental space where your experiences and stories are valued. My goal is to understand your journey deeply, so together, we can create a path forward that supports your growth and healing.

  • I believe that optimal mental health is the foundation of overall well-being and preventive care. Many medical ailments treated in primary care may be linked to sub-optimal mental health. For example, a patient with elevated LDL ("the bad") cholesterol may receive dietary interventions or medication, but this approach might miss a key question: why does the patient engage in unhealthy eating habits? This could be linked to deeper, unresolved psychological factors, such as using food as a coping mechanism for trauma-induced anxiety or stress.

    My passion lies in addressing these root mental health issues. By empowering individuals with the insight and tools to make healthier daily decisions, we can create lasting, meaningful change that aligns with your personal goals and leads to a more fulfilled life. This holistic approach is at the heart of why I do what I do—because when we prioritize mental health, we uplift the whole self.

  • In our sessions, you can expect a collaborative partnership. I believe in a patient-centered approach, where your voice guides our work. Together, we’ll set goals and define outcomes that matter most to you. My commitment is to ensure that your aspirations lead the way, empowering you to rise and reach your full potential.

Pardeep Gill, PMHNP-BC, COO:

Hello, I’m Pardeep Gill, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner dedicated to guiding individuals toward a state of balance and well-being. I understand that the complexities of life can often feel overwhelming, and I am here to provide the expert support you need to navigate these challenges with confidence. My approach is informed by a deep passion for mental health and a personal commitment to helping others achieve their full potential. Whether you are contending with significant mental health challenges or seeking a trusted professional to help you enhance your well-being, I am here to offer thoughtful, compassionate, and personalized care.

  • My treatment philosophy is an integrative one, combining evidence-based therapeutic interventions with the judicious use of medication. I place great emphasis on helping clients develop sustainable habits that align with their long-term objectives. When indicated, medication serves as a temporary adjunct to therapy, designed to support clients as they cultivate the skills and strategies necessary for independent mental health management.

  • My entry into the field of mental health care was driven by a strong commitment to dismantling the stigma surrounding men’s mental health, particularly within the athletic community. As both a male and an athlete, I have experienced firsthand the societal pressures that compel men to suppress their vulnerabilities and maintain an outward appearance of unyielding strength. Through these experiences, I’ve also come to appreciate the significant role that sports play in promoting mental well-being across diverse cultures and communities. Sports have the unique ability to unite, heal, and build resilience, and I am passionate about helping others tap into these benefits to overcome their mental health challenges and thrive.

    Kobe Bryant’s words, “Everything negative—pressure, challenges—is all an opportunity for me to rise,” resonate profoundly with my therapeutic approach. This perspective closely mirrors the foundational principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which emphasizes the transformation of negative thoughts into opportunities for personal growth. Through the application of CBT, I assist clients in transforming their perceived obstacles into opportunities for advancement, thereby enabling them to transcend adversity and actualize their full potential. This philosophy is at the core of my practice and fuels my commitment to supporting others on their mental health journey.

  • Clients can expect to emerge from our sessions with a renewed sense of peace, enhanced functionality, and actionable strategies for managing their mental health autonomously. My goal is to assist you in cultivating sustainable habits through therapeutic interventions, with medication as a supportive option when appropriate. I strive to create a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you feel understood and valued.
