Patti gilliano
Hi! I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner in Florida.  I have been in healthcare for over 25 years as a clinical nurse and executive leader.  I have found tremendous results in listening to patients needs, and formulating a plan to help them optimize wellness with a solid roadmap to feeling the best they can be in a positive environment. Empathetic and strong, I have worked with many clients struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, Post COVID issues, grief, suffering, or self-image issues. I also do relationship counseling and couples therapy. Many clients range from kids through older adults and anywhere in between.  My passion is People, helping them to be their best self!

I like to spend time getting to know a client. Listening is important to me. My focus is to help ensure we can get you to be your best self through optimizing ways in your daily life to find solutions. I look at sleep, nutrition, and movement, then talk about stressors and goals. Together we can come up with a plan to best fit your needs and get you to where you want to go. I use a combination of holistic approaches, medicine, and lifestyle changes to complement what you feel most comfortable doing and then work to get you there.
 
In our first session together, here's what you can expect:

In our first session, I like to get a bit of solid background information and learn about sleep, eating, activity. Then I want to learn what are your short term goals wanting to achieve from care, and then 1 or 2 long term goals forward.  It will be how we will plan a framework that works for you to review each week or month if you feel we are progressing or need adjustments.  I like to have one or two sessions first, review some lab work to see how to best optimize a plan that is going to work for you in treatment.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having a strong faith and resiliency in my personal life, I have found my approach to improving the emotional health and wellness of others comes from starting with a good foundation and plan to meet the goal of my clients.  I have over 25 years in patient care, wellness, leadership, and behavioral health experiences and am able to quickly assess and plan a framework for a beneficial plan to help you feel better to achieve realistic goals  to improve emotional, and mental well being.  My grounded and thoughtful approach has helped to positively impact many clients from all over the country in all walks of life.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I specialize in EVENING & WEEKEND APPOINTMENTS, I enjoy working with a real mix of clients in a holistic and integrative approach. I feel it is important to optimize and fuel the body in order to maximize results someone hopes to achieve.  Each client is unique and needs a personalized approach to provide a toolkit of techniques to improve the journey.  I have very flexible hours to work day, evening, or weekends to take the stress away of how to fit in therapy into one's life virtual or in person. Having personal experience with several types of trauma is why I believe we can best work together to help you on your journey.  I have had strong exposure and experience with children, teens, and with niche's of frozen shoulder, overachieving syndrome, trauma, Post-covid, long haul, and, workplace bullying & violence.  Relationship rebuilding, and self-esteem are also a niche.

They Call Me Harriet: A Chilling Account of A Nurse Executives Story Of Survival and Work During The Pandemic

It all started February 2020 as a former chief nursing officer summoned to the oval office hallways for an emergency command meeting with all executives and division chiefs to launch an internal disaster command for preparation of a pandemic preparation of mass proportions. In this journey, this nurse leader crosses the lines from critical thinking into the twilight zones of care delivery where all conscious thinking and established processes of infection control are thrown out the window to relegate the masses of employees to batten down the hatches for full scale pandemic preparations. She shares accounts of things that just defied logic, her own battle being sequestered as a patient isolated from everyone, to the inconsistencies across the Nation in care delivery, and working often frontlines to ensure patients had the human connection from isolation to the depths of working behind the scenes underground connecting with physicians and people all over the Country and some around the world to find more purposeful, tested solutions to recovery of the virus away from hospitals and saving lives one person at a time. In a fight for her life to recover, she quickly found resources across the globe to connect with to improve her health and share with others. Sad and tragic, she shares accounts of a few patients she touched directly to intervene to help and at least they did not all die alone. In this account one must consider why did fear overlay facts, and why was the implicit orders to use only one method, one protocol, when for years and so many other circumstances could medications be used for off-label use, and why now was it impossible to get things off store shelves, yet this Country cannot seem to get control of Fentynal abuse. It will leave you to wonder why so few challenged, and why so many died, and why now it is so important to consider how and why we let this happen?
