Shannon McElroy — Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, NJ

ABOUT HER

Hi! I’m Shannon! I’m a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and the heart behind Resilient Roots Wellness.

I’ve worked in mental health for over a decade, and while psychiatry is the foundation of my practice, I have a huge passion for women’s mental health, especially the connection between our mental health, hormones, sleep, stress, nutrition, and everything else happening in our bodies and our lives.

I work with women through so many different seasons from anxiety, depression, and ADHD to pregnancy and postpartum, PMDD, perimenopause, hormone changes, and all of the messy life stuff in between. I also offer hormone replacement therapy and medical weight management.

I started Resilient Roots because I wanted to create the kind of practice I believed patients deserved. A place where appointments don’t feel rushed, where you’re actually listened to, and where we look at the whole picture instead of treating one symptom in isolation.

Outside of work, I’m a wife and mom to two girls, so I’m navigating the chaos of motherhood, work, family, and everything in between right alongside so many of you.

I really love getting to know the women I work with and helping them feel more like themselves again. 🤍

The Founder's Note

"Before I even met Shannon, I knew I was going to love her. I hadn’t come across a psychiatric NP incorporating bloodwork, hormone testing and whole-body health into care before, and I love everything about her approach. She’s a mom, she gets it, and she genuinely wants psychiatric care to be better, more thoughtful and more human."

You'll love working with her if…

  • You’ll love working with me if you want a provider who actually listens, asks questions, and looks beyond just your symptoms.

  • My appointments are meant to feel like a conversation, not a clinical interrogation. You can show up as yourself, ask the questions you think are weird, tell me what’s actually going on, and never worry about saying the “right” thing.

  • I’m big on collaboration. I want you to understand your options, feel comfortable asking questions, and have a say in your treatment plan. Medication can be incredibly helpful, but I also believe hormones, sleep, nutrition, stress, relationships, movement, and what’s happening in your everyday life matter too.

  • If you want personalized, evidence-based care without the stuffy clinical feel, we’ll probably get along pretty well.

now for the good stuff...
