Known for her calm demeanor and warm, grounding presence, Mo McIntosh has a way of putting patients at ease from the moment they sit down. “Welcome to Mo’s,” she likes to say, showing patients that her care is as personal as that greeting suggests.

Education and Background

Mo earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from SUNY Brockport in 1988 and became a certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner in 1999. Mo spent more than two decades of clinical experience across emergency, neonatal, and oncology settings, where she cared for premature infants in the NICU and supporting families through some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

When she transitioned to adult care in oncology and bone marrow transplant, she saw firsthand how deeply emotional and psychological well-being are tied to healing. Caring for her own grandmother through Alzheimer’s deepened that understanding even further and ultimately inspired her to specialize in psychiatric mental health.

Mo completed her postgraduate certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner from the University of Cincinnati in 2023 and later relocated from Georgia in June 2024 to join Serenity.

Care Philosophy

Mo takes the time to understand your story, your symptoms, your strengths, and your goals, and works collaboratively with you to develop a treatment plan you feel confident in. Her approach is rooted in respect, patience, and a non-judgmental spirit. She takes time to hear your story in your own words and partners with you to build a plan that meets your unique goals.

Personal Interests

Mo enjoys reading, walking, and spending time at Melbourne Beach, her favorite spot to recharge. She enjoys spending time with her daughter and building a new chapter together in Florida. Mo is also involved in volunteer work, including online support groups and community-based therapeutic work through the Mending organization.
