My Story

I am dedicated to nurturing the mental health of children and adolescents through compassionate, holistic, and accessible psychiatric care.

Currently accepting patients residing in Illinois.

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 (BSN) from the University of Illinois Chicago, followed by a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) from St. Louis University, and a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) 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.

Accessible Care

At Mind-Body Pediatric Psychiatry, I provide expert care with no wait times, evening appointments, and virtual consultations—ensuring your child gets the support they need, when they need it, without compromising on quality.

Personalized Treatment
