Brief Intro

Sunitha Jose is a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) whose background includes two decades in nursing and over 6 years in behavioral health and psychiatry. Sunitha has worked with outpatient mental health clinics, inpatient psychiatric hospitals with mental health disorders including serious mental illness (SMI), and the correctional health population. She has also worked in other specialties like telemetry, medical-surgical, orthopedics, bariatrics, and hemodialysis. Most of Sunitha’s clients are adults, but she has had clients from age 6 and up. Her PMHNP license covers the population across the lifespan. Sunitha completed her Master of Science in Nursing Leadership (MSN-L) at Grand Canyon University and her PMHNP at Maryville University. She also completed a Master of Computer Applications (MCA). Sunitha is a member of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association. Last year she worked in telehealth in an outpatient psychiatry clinic to help people mainly with medication management and brief counseling sessions for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, grief, trauma, insomnia, etc. Sunitha has a great passion for compassionate, person-centered care with a holistic and evidence-based practice approach. She likes to listen to her clients’ emotional and mental health problems, then help them find solutions. The ultimate aim of treatment through therapy or medication is to discover a renewed sense of vision, hope, and future possibilities in mental health struggles. Sunitha believes that life is a puzzle. You can enjoy placing it together by experiencing the reality with positivity. Life struggles may bring emotional pain, but there is hope and growth in pain.
