Shannon Mostafiz: PMHNP and a Holistic Mental Health Provider

What if the thoughts that keep you stuck weren’t yours to begin with?

What if anxiety and depression weren’t permanent conditions, but intelligent messengers trying to wake you up?

For Shannon Mostafiz, PMHNP, mental health isn’t about fixing what’s broken, it’s about returning to what’s real.

With a background in trauma-informed care, consciousness studies, and holistic depression treatment, Shannon helps her patients do more than just manage symptoms.

She helps them wake up to their truth.

Why Shannon Got Into Mental Health (And What Makes her Stand out?)

Shannon didn’t choose this field just to prescribe and diagnose.

She chose it because she was tired of seeing people pathologized instead of empowered.

“Conventional psychiatry often labels what it doesn’t understand. I wanted to help people reclaim their aliveness not just treat what was ‘wrong’ with them.”

She began her journey at Maharishi International University. 

Her daily life was full of meditation and consciousness.

She then went to complete her Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner training through Hunter College and Bellevue Hospital.

This unique education shaped the way she sees healing, not as a checkbox, but a return to wholeness.

What Makes Shannon’s Mental Health Care Different?

1. She Treats the Mind and Body and Everything In Between

Shannon’s approach blends:

• Trauma-informed psychiatric care

• Holistic depression treatment

• Somatic energy work

• Consciousness-based tools for awareness and healing

“Sometimes the most effective treatments don’t show up in clinical trials. They show up when people feel safe enough to change.”

2. She Asks Questions Instead of Pushing Answers

You won’t get a checklist and a pill bottle here.

Shannon believes that lasting mental health comes when clients start questioning the thoughts, identities, and beliefs they’ve carried, often unconsciously, for years.

“We’re all walking around with borrowed stories. When you begin to ask, ‘Is this even mine?’ everything can shift.”

3. She Creates a Safe Space for the Weird, Wild, and Wonderful

One thing Shannon hears often?

“I’ve never said that out loud before.”

That’s because she makes room for the parts of you that might feel too much or not enough, anywhere else.

Her clients describe her as a calm, intuitive presence who offers radical acceptance with a side of deep insight.

Her Mental Health Toolkit (That You Can Steal)

Shannon’s go-to tips for well-being include:

• Ask your body what it needs, and your mind will catch up
• Use curiosity as medicine and witness how judgment shuts down change
• Laugh (often), cause seriousness is SO overrated
• Live in the question—not every answer is your answer
• Trust that the weird parts of you are probably the wisest

If you feel mentally foggy or disconnected, try this simple quiz. It might just help you understand what's really up with your brain fog.
