Christine Forge

Professional Nurse

“Hello! I have over 35 years of nursing experience, graduating with my RN BSN from Bellin College of Nursing in 1989. I have worked in ICU, surgery, endocrinology, long-term and short-term rehab, and psychiatric care in residential, hospital, and outpatient settings across various states.”

About Me

I offer over 35 years of diverse nursing experience as a Professional Nurse, FNP-BC, and PMHNP-BC. My background spans ICU, endocrinology, and extensive psychiatric care across various settings. I integrate this broad understanding, helping clients navigate complex physical and mental health challenges. Individuals seeking comprehensive, experienced support will find a grounded approach. I draw on my history in hospital and outpatient environments to foster overall well-being.

Approach

My clinical background across acute medical, surgical and psychiatric settings shapes how I work with each person, focusing on practical steps rather than vague plans. I offer sessions in Jacksonville and by secure online video in English, keeping appointments steady, predictable, and oriented toward safety and relief. Sessions blend focused assessment, gentle pacing, short skill practice, and attention to how sleep and physical health affect mood, attention, and daily function. Those coping with anxiety, ADHD-related struggles, mood variability or sleep problems often find this steady, grounded way of working helpful.
