Meet Dr. Elle O’Brien

I’m Dr. Elle O’Brien, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. My journey in mental health began with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Illinois Chicago, followed by a Master of Science in Nursing from St. Louis University, and a Doctor of Nursing Practice from the University of Missouri Columbia. I have worked for Washington University School of Medicine at St Louis Children’s Hospital. With experience in collaborative care, inpatient psychiatry, emergency departments, and outpatient psychiatry, I bring a wealth of knowledge and compassion to my practice.

As a mother of two young children, I understand the joys and challenges of parenting. My personal experiences enrich my professional practice, allowing me to connect with families on a more empathetic and understanding level.

Thank you for considering Mind-Body Pediatric Psychiatry. Let’s work together to build a brighter, healthier future for your child. Contact us today to schedule an appointment and start your child’s journey to optimal mental wellness.

Meet Tatiana Valdez, PMHNP-BC

I specialize in child and adolescent mental health, supporting children, teens, and families with compassionate, evidence-based care focused on lasting emotional wellness and whole-child well-being.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, my Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Illinois Chicago, and completed advanced psychiatric training at the University of Cincinnati. My clinical background includes emergency and psychiatric care at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Mayo Clinic, and Children’s Minnesota.

I provide integrative medication management and personalized care plans, and I am bilingual in English and Spanish, ensuring families feel welcomed, supported, and understood throughout their care journey.

Outside of practice, I enjoy exploring Chicago with my husband and our dog, Buster, and finding balance through yoga and movement.
