holistic child psychiatry - Dr. Elle O'Brien

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.
