Stefan Bulatovic is an experienced PMHNP who provides comprehensive mental health care to adolescents, adults, and seniors, addressing a wide range of psychiatric conditions and varying levels of acuity.

Stefan started his journey in the mental health field working as a Registered Nurse. Noticing how much compassion and real human connection in professional care settings can help aid in someone’s recovery, Stefan was inspired to pursue the PMHNP path. Fueled by a desire to help make a difference in the lives of others, Stefan furthered his education with the overall goal to deeply understand and connect with patients while medically supporting them in their mental health journey.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Stefan combines his nursing experience with a more holistic approach to mental health, focusing on building strong relationships and effective treatment strategies. He understands the unique challenges his patients face and focuses on creating a supportive space where his patients feel heard. For Stefan, building a strong therapeutic relationship is crucial, as it helps create a safe space where patients can openly share their challenges. He collaboratively works with his patients on finding better coping strategies, achieving emotional stability, and building their resilience for life’s ups and downs.

After a thorough examination of each individual’s needs, he develops a tailored treatment plan to accommodate the individual. His goal is to lead patients to better mental and overall health through implementing evidence-based interventions. Stefan collaborates closely with interdisciplinary teams to ensure holistic care, utilizing a trauma-informed approach to support patients in achieving their mental health goals. His commitment to ongoing education and professional development enables him to stay current with best practices and emerging trends in psychiatric care. He seeks to empower patients and give them a sense of ownership over their journey, which is essential for achieving lasting change, and finds it rewarding to walk alongside patients as they work toward achieving these goals.

Stefan is interested in working with patients who are experiencing treatment-resistant depression or who struggle to respond to traditional therapies. This is a major factor in his decision to join Mindful Health Solutions, as he’s excited to offer innovative treatments like TMS and SPRAVATO therapy. He believes these options can significantly help those who haven’t found relief with standard treatments. By combining therapeutic methods with medication strategies, Stefan strives to create personalized treatment plans that resonate with each patient’s individual experiences and needs. Ready to contribute to the Mindful Health Solutions mission, he is looking forward to being part of a practice that emphasizes cutting-edge treatments and holistic care, which also aligns with his own professional values.

Stefan wants to encourage anyone seeking help for mental health issues. He says, “Know that it’s a brave step, and you’re not alone. Opening up can feel daunting, but I’m here to listen and support you without any judgment. Together, we can explore your experiences and come up with a personalized treatment plan that reflects your goals. I encourage you to reach out—you deserve the support that can help you on your path toward better well-being.”
