Antoinette Nicole Goosby, MSN, CRNP, PMHNP-BC
Antoinette is a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with extensive experience in mental health services. She has worked various settings, including inpatient and residential, with a diverse range of populations. Her expertise spans from young children to older adults with autism spectrum disorders, substance use disorders, and eating disorders. Antoinette is committed to providing excellent, whole-person mental health care to every client she works with. Today, my practice is focused on young adults navigating the pressures of early career, academic life, and identity — though my clinical background spans a much wider range of experiences, from pediatric eating disorders to older adult psychiatry.
