Cara Hardinger, PMHNP

Hello! Are you looking for a provider who recognizes we are currently living in a country and world that’s impacting everyone’s mental health? My name is Cara (pronouns: she/her) and I am a queer, intersectional feminist with lived experience in retail, healthcare, as well as navigating a capitalist, patriarchal society that can feel unbearable. I’m here to support you on your mental health journey. I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Master's in Nursing from the University of Pennsylvania. I provide holistic, patient centered care through the lens of the biopsychosocial model–which means considering biological, psychological, and social factors when determining a diagnosis and treatment.

I conduct psychiatric evaluations, determine diagnoses, and prescribe medications as appropriate for adolescents ages 16 and older, as well as for adults 18 years and older. I have an interest in anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, bipolar disorders, ADHD, Trauma and PTSD, as well as working with grief, insomnia, and life transitions. I strive to provide warm, compassionate care while giving you the opportunity to discuss any concerns you may have.

With respect and compassion for you and your unique lived experience, together we will collaborate on the best course of treatment to get you feeling better. By utilizing therapeutic techniques and medication management, my goal is to help you live your best life. Reach out today so we can get started!
