Hi, I’m Monica Johnson (though some may know me as Monica Maloney). It is truly an honor to serve patients and support them in their mental health journey. As a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I’ve made a commitment to treat every patient with respect, genuine compassion, and individualized care. My approach goes beyond simply prescribing medications—I focus on creating a holistic, personalized treatment plan that addresses the full spectrum of a patient’s well-being. Mental health care is not just about managing symptoms with medications. I understand that mental health challenges are often influenced by life situations, decision-making, and unexpected stressors. Because of this, I work with patients to explore not only their symptoms but also the external factors that may impact their well-being. This means teaching and encouraging healthy habits, such as intentional movement, balanced nutrition, effective time management, boundary setting, mindfulness, and spiritual alignment.

My practice includes thorough evaluations and personalized follow-up care:

• Initial Evaluation: 60 minutes, including active listening, focused questions, and a comprehensive assessment.
• Follow-Up Appointments: Typically, 30 minutes, but may vary between 15 to 30 minutes depending on the patient’s needs.

I treat individuals ages 16 to 65, addressing a wide range of mental health conditions, including:

• Anxiety Disorders
• PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)
• ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder)
• Depression
• Bipolar Disorder
• Insomnia
• Behavioral Conditions

When I’m not working, I love spending time with family and friends, working out, dancing, reading the word, and attending church. I’m passionate about lifelong learning, volunteering, exploring new foods, and traveling. Most importantly, I am an advocate for total wellness—mental, physical, and spiritual—because I believe these are our greatest assets.
