Dr. Stephanie Nguyen, DNP, APRN, PMHNP-BC

Stephanie Nguyen, DNP, APRN, PMHNP-BC, is a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner practicing at Novamind in the Chicago, IL area.

Dr. Nguyen holds a Doctor of Nursing Practice from Rush University, supported by over nine years of acute clinical experience in emergency medicine. Her practice focuses on providing comprehensive psychiatric care for individuals navigating:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• ADHD
• OCD
• Bipolar disorder

She specializes in evidence-based interventions for treatment-resistant depression, including the administration of in-person esketamine (Spravato) for patients who have not achieved remission through standard therapeutic approaches.

What is Spravato?

Unlike traditional antidepressants that can take 4-6 weeks to work, Spravato works through a different pathway—and some patients notice changes much sooner.

In clinical trials:

• Patients receiving Spravato showed significantly greater improvement
• Some patients experienced relief within hours to days
• …Spravato has been used in over 100,000 patients nationwide

Results vary. Not everyone responds the same way, and improvement isn’t instant or guaranteed. We’ll track your progress carefully and adjust the plan as needed.

Dr. Nguyen’s clinical style is defined by direct, transparent communication and a collaborative spirit. She prioritizes the creation of a therapeutic environment where patients feel clinically supported and fully understood. By fostering a partnership rooted in clarity and mutual respect, she aims to help patients achieve stability and an improved quality of life. Outside of her clinical practice, she maintains her personal wellness through CrossFit and engagement in the gaming community.
