Angela Carter BSN, RN, Supervised PMHNP

As a supervised psychiatric nurse practitioner in Chicago, I provide trauma-informed, inclusive mental health care that supports people navigating anxiety, trauma, perinatal changes, eating concerns, and identity exploration. My clients may come to therapy feeling stuck, unsure, or overwhelmed—but they’re open to honest reflection and a collaborative path forward. Whether you’re just beginning your mental health journey or returning after time away, I offer a grounded, nonjudgmental space where healing can begin.

I especially enjoy working with teens, emerging adults, and adults facing complex challenges related to cultural identity, family systems, and life transitions. Many of the individuals I support are navigating not only internal distress but also the stressors of living at the intersections of race, ethnicity, gender, and faith. As a multiracial, multiethnic woman, I bring cultural awareness, lived empathy, and humility into each session.

Together, we’ll explore how your unique experiences—including systemic oppression, generational expectations, or spiritual trauma—have shaped your emotional world. I provide both psychiatric medication management and integrated therapeutic support grounded in evidence-based care. My approach centers collaboration, respect, and whole-person healing.

I also have a special interest in perinatal and reproductive mental health and welcome clients who are exploring family-building, postpartum identity, or hormonal transitions. I support individuals with eating concerns using a weight-inclusive lens rooted in body respect and Health at Every Size® principles. When relevant, I also welcome conversations about spirituality and faith with sensitivity and care, particularly for those processing harm within religious communities.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Loyola University Chicago and am completing my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) in Psychiatric Mental Health at the University of Illinois at Chicago (expected December 2025). I am also a current fellow in Rush University’s Opioid Use Disorder Treatment Fellowship ECHO Program.

I provide virtual and in-person appointments through Mind Body Co-op’s Chicago offices, supporting individuals across the lifespan with thoughtful, trauma-responsive care that prioritizes connection, empowerment, and cultural responsiveness.
