Danielle Mainardi, PMHNP-BC, BSN

Hello! I'm Danielle Mainardi, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to providing compassionate and comprehensive mental health care. My journey in nursing began with a solid foundation in patient-centered care, which has been strengthened by my experiences across various healthcare settings. I'm currently serving the community at High Focus Centers in Cranford, NJ, where I specialize in supporting adolescents and adults through their mental health journeys. Prior to this, I honed my skills as a Registered Nurse at Hackensack University Medical Center and other esteemed institutions, focusing on acute psychiatric crises and detoxification support. My educational background includes a Master of Science in Nursing from Fairleigh Dickinson University and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from William Paterson University of New Jersey. These academic pursuits have equipped me with the knowledge to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate care tailored to each individual's needs. My philosophy is simple: provide competent, compassionate, and non-judgmental care while embracing a holistic approach to wellness. Whether managing medications or educating patients and caregivers on lifestyle modifications, I strive to empower those in my care with the tools they need for self-care and improved quality of life. I believe in the importance of cultural sensitivity and evidence-based practice. Working collaboratively with other healthcare professionals, I ensure that every treatment plan is personalized and grounded in the latest research. In every interaction, my goal is to foster therapeutic communication that builds trust and understanding. As your healthcare partner, I am committed to guiding you toward better mental health with empathy, expertise, and unwavering support.
