Christine Devine MSN, BSN, PMHNP-BC

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner for Villanova Location

My approach to mental health care is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based treatment. I work closely with my patients to provide support and create personalized care plans that prioritize their goals, values, and overall well-being. While I bring strong expertise in psychopharmacology, I also believe in a holistic model of care that integrates therapy, lifestyle support, and innovative treatments when appropriate. I developed a strong passion for working with children, adolescents, and young adults after my clinical experience and training at the Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia. While certified to treat individuals across the lifespan, I specialize in helping youth and young adults navigate a variety of psychiatric and behavioral disorders including those suffering from anxiety and mood disorders, PTSD, and co-occurring substance disorders. I also have a growing interest in treating patients with treatment-resistant depression through options like TMS and Spravato. At the core of my practice is the belief that no one should have to face mental illness alone. I aim to foster a safe, respectful, and stigma-free environment where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered in their journey toward healing.
