Hilary Duvauchelle is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with advanced training in functional medicine and more than 17 years of healthcare experience. She is passionate about supporting individuals across the lifespan, working with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults through a wide range of psychiatric and emotional challenges.

Hilary specializes in the treatment of anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, eating disorders, and schizophrenia. She also provides compassionate support for women during the peripartum and postpartum periods, as well as throughout perimenopause and menopause, offering both medication management and supplement guidance while recognizing the complex relationship between hormones, mood, and executive functioning. Hilary proudly welcomes and supports members of the LGBTQ+ community, helping clients navigate questions of gender identity, authenticity, and self-understanding. Her work is deeply trauma-informed, helping individuals connect past experiences to present symptoms and identify meaningful paths forward.

Clients often express gratitude for finally finding a provider who truly listens, collaborates, and partners with them in their care. Although her training at Vanderbilt University is grounded in evidence-based medicine, Hilary approaches every client as a unique individual whose treatment should reflect their personal history, goals, and needs. Through a functional medicine lens, she seeks to uncover the root causes of symptoms while also prioritizing effective, timely relief.

Hilary’s passion for psychiatry emerged during her family medicine training, where she recognized the growing number of patients seeking mental health support through primary care. She observed that many individuals struggled to access specialized psychiatric services and were often left without adequate improvement. This experience inspired her not only to expand access to care, but also to practice a more holistic model of psychiatry—one that honors the whole person, including their past experiences, present circumstances, and future potential.

Whether someone is seeking psychiatric care for the first time or has spent years feeling frustrated and unheard, Hilary is committed to listening carefully, uncovering contributing factors, and developing an evolving treatment plan that supports both healing and self-discovery.
