About Me
Hi, I’m Ashley — a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner specializing in reproductive and perinatal mental health. I support clients through pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, hormonal changes, and menopause — and also offer care for adults navigating stress, anxiety, mood shifts, or life transitions that may or may not be tied to these seasons.
I’ve completed advanced training in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders through Postpartum Support International, and I’m currently a fellow in the Integrative and Reproductive Psychiatry Fellowship through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute, where I’m deepening my knowledge in holistic, functional, and hormone-informed care.
I also work with children and teens, supporting those navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma with care that's thoughtful, compassionate, and grounded in empathy.
All sessions are offered virtually, making care flexible, accessible, and easy to fit into daily life - wherever someone is in their journey.
When I’m not supporting clients, I enjoy spending time with my three young children and finding moments of calm in the beautiful chaos of parenthood.
Ashley McGovern, PMHNP-BC
What to Expect
Introductory Email
You will receive an email introducing you to my practice, including important information about my services and approach. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a free 15-minute consultation call, you can easily do so through the provided scheduling link.
Intake Paperwork
You will receive intake paperwork through my secure medical record system, IntakeQ. This paperwork is designed to help you reflect on your history, strengths, and current concerns while giving me important information to understand your needs before our first session.
Initial Evaluation
In this step, I’ll focus on understanding your individual story by asking thoughtful questions to explore your experiences and concerns. By the end of our session, we’ll discuss personalized treatment recommendations, which may include medication and supplementation as part of a comprehensive approach to your care. This thorough mental health assessment is designed to create a customized plan that aligns with your needs and goals.
Ongoing Support
During follow-up appointments, we’ll discuss how things are progressing and assess the effectiveness of your current interventions. Together, we’ll fine-tune and adjust your treatment plan based on what’s working well and what may need improvement. These sessions may also include brief psychotherapy or reviewing lab results as needed. Regular follow-ups, prompt communication, and accessible support ensure your care stays personalized and evolves with your needs.
