About Our Founder

Hello, I’m Gia Short, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and the founder of MindSculpt Psychiatry.

I specialize in treating ADHD, anxiety, and depression, with a focus on how these conditions impact daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. I also provide support for patients experiencing binge eating and medication-related weight gain, offering treatment plans that address both mental health and metabolic health together.

My approach is collaborative and patient-centered. I believe every person’s story is unique, and I take the time to listen closely so we can build a treatment plan that works for you—not just a “one-size-fits-all” approach.

 

With more than 12 years of nursing experience, I’ve seen firsthand how the right support can transform lives. My goal is to help you feel more in control, regain balance, and move toward the life you want with clarity and confidence.

Hear From Our Patients 

"Working with MindSculpt Psychiatry has been life-changing. Gia actually listened to my concerns and helped me understand what I was going through instead of just rushing me through an appointment. I’m more focused, calmer, and I finally feel like I have control over my days again. I’m so grateful for the care I’ve received.”

Janice W.

"I was struggling with anxiety and emotional eating, and I felt stuck for years. Gia helped me get on the right treatment plan and encouraged me through every step. My confidence is back, and I feel hopeful about my future. The virtual appointments are convenient and stress-free—highly recommend!”
