About Our Founder
Hello, I’m Gia Short, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and founder of MindSculpt Psychiatry.
I specialize in treating ADHD, anxiety, and depression, with a focus on how these conditions can affect daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. I also have a special interest in binge eating disorder and weight concerns related to psychiatric medications, helping patients find treatment options that support both their mental health and weight-related goals.
My approach is collaborative and patient-centered. I believe every person’s story is unique, and I take the time to listen, understand your concerns, and develop an individualized treatment plan that works for you—not a one-size-fits-all approach.
With more than 15 years of nursing experience, I’ve seen firsthand how the right support can make a meaningful difference. My goal is to help you better manage your symptoms, regain balance, and move toward the life you want with greater clarity and confidence.

Hear From Our Patients
"Working with MindSculpt Psychiatry has been life-changing. Gia actually listened to my concerns and helped me understand what I was going through instead of just rushing me through an appointment. I’m more focused, calmer, and I finally feel like I have control over my days again. I’m so grateful for the care I’ve received.”
Janice W.
"I was struggling with anxiety and emotional eating, and I felt stuck for years. Gia helped me get on the right treatment plan and encouraged me through every step. My confidence is back, and I feel hopeful about my future. The appointments are convenient and stress-free—highly recommend!”
