Meet Ketaki Desai, PMHNP-BC

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), licensed in Connecticut and New York, providing personalized, compassionate care across the lifespan—from children and adolescents to adults and older adults.

I don’t believe anyone is broken. We all experience times when we feel lost, stuck, or unsure of the next step. My role is to walk beside you—to help navigate the hard parts and support you in reconnecting with your own inner direction. And when the path feels especially dark, think of me as someone holding a light while you find your way forward.

​

Together, we’ll uncover what’s been weighing you down and create a treatment plan that honors your goals and strengths. I offer a thoughtful, integrative approach that combines evidence-based psychiatric care with holistic support—incorporating medication management, mindfulness, and lifestyle support to address anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, mood and sleep disorders, and more.

​

After completing my PMHNP degree, I was selected for a competitive postgraduate residency at the VA Connecticut Healthcare System, where I received advanced training in anxiety, PTSD, depression, trauma-informed care, sleep disorders, ADHD, and treatment-resistant conditions. I also gained experience with innovative treatments such as Spravato (esketamine), TMS, and psychedelic-assisted therapy research.

​

My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered.

Healing isn’t linear—but you don’t have to do it alone. Let’s find the way forward—together.
