Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
With clinical experience across some of the most demanding mental health settings, from psychiatric emergency services and crisis stabilization to inpatient psychiatry and substance abuse treatment, Chanise Christopher, PMHNP, brings both breadth and depth to every patient she works with.
Education and Background
Chanise is a graduate of Regis University and the University of Colorado Denver. Her robust clinical background spans inpatient psychiatry, psychiatric emergency services, crisis stabilization units, withdrawal management, and substance abuse treatment centers. That range of experience has given her a deep understanding of what patients face across the full spectrum of mental health challenges, and it allows her to meet each person wherever they are in their journey with confidence and compassion.
Care Philosophy
Chanise specializes in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD, insomnia, complex trauma, and substance use disorders. After witnessing many patients struggle to find lasting relief with traditional psychiatric treatments alone, she was inspired to integrate innovative, alternative therapies into her practice. At Serenity, she offers Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and ketamine infusion therapy alongside comprehensive psychiatric care to expand the possibilities for recovery, healing, and long-term wellness.
Her patient-centered approach means every treatment plan is built around the individual, not a template. She takes the time to understand each patient’s unique experience and works collaboratively with them to find the path that offers the best chance for meaningful, lasting change.
Personal Interests
Beyond her professional life, Chanise treasures the simple joys of motherhood, exploring the world through the eyes of her curious toddler and sharing life’s quiet moments with her partner and family. That sense of wonder and connection is something she carries into the care she provides every day.
What to Expect
In sessions with Chanise, patients can expect a provider who brings both clinical expertise and genuine warmth to every conversation. She creates a therapeutic space where you can share openly and feel confident that your care plan is built around your unique needs and goals.
