Kendall Monroe RN-BC, PNHNP-BC

First off...

Thank you for visiting my site and looking into services. You may be curious about how medications fit into treatment, establishing a diagnosis, continuing care, or looking for a second opinion. I promise, I meet people where they are.

Background

My work is grounded in advanced diagnostics, psychopharmacology, and psychodynamic therapy. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Colgate University in 2008, followed by a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Master’s in Psychiatric Advanced Practice Nursing from Columbia University.

During my clinical training, I completed competitive rotations at NewYork-Presbyterian and Mount Sinai, where I gained experience across inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings. Since then, I have worked in diverse environments—from a community mental health center in Harlem to a private practice in Greenwich, Connecticut—giving me a broad perspective on the needs of individuals across backgrounds and stages of life.

I am board-certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and have completed advanced training through the Neuroscience Education Institute’s Master Psychopharmacology Program and the Integrative Psychiatric Institute’s Integrative Psychiatry Certificate Program.

Approach

I am trained to treat all major psychiatric conditions and specialize in depression, ADHD, anxiety, OCD, and trauma. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative. I believe in shared decision-making and practice evidence-based care that is informed by both clinical research and the lived experience of each individual.

While diagnostic categories can be helpful, I also place great value on understanding your unique story. If traditional medication alone isn’t providing relief, I offer complementary approaches and referrals to other evidence-based treatments. In most cases, I recommend that patients engage in therapy alongside medication management for the most comprehensive and effective care.

Philosophy

The goal of medication is to help you feel more like yourself again—lifting the weight of depression, anxiety, irritability, or whatever may be getting in the way. While medication is not a cure-all, it can offer a stable foundation that supports healing, growth, and the work you do in therapy and daily life.
