Diane Shallcross
With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I have worn many hats & developed a diverse set of skills & expertise. Early in my career, I worked as a RN in the ER, on the medical floors & inpatient psychiatric units. I transitioned into a clinical educator role, where I had the opportunity to share my knowledge & passion for mental health with others. I was later offered the lead clinician role of a hospital sponsored research grant. I dove deep into the latest evidence-based practices and strived to improve quality mental health care for some of Chicago's most vulnerable persons. During that time, I served individuals living with serious mental illness, also struggling with housing & financial vulnerabilities. I pursued further learning and became a psychiatric nurse practitioner. As a PMHNP, I've had the privilege of supporting mental health consumers across various settings such as inpatient hospitals, outpatient clinics, a crisis stabilization team, and in the forensic setting. Now, as a busy working mom of three, I've channeled my extensive experience into building a thriving private practice, where I'm dedicated to serving individuals struggling with a wide range of mental health concerns – from depression and anxiety to grief, life transitions, and the unique challenges of parenthood. Additionally, as a bariatric surgery recipient myself, I'm uniquely positioned to provide comprehensive bariatric psychiatric evaluations and therapy for those navigating the physical and emotional complexities of life after weight-loss surgery. With my multifaceted background and unwavering commitment to mental health, I strive to be a trusted guide and advocate for all those seeking support on their journey towards greater well-being. When I'm not working, you'll find me with my husband & our kiddos, hiking, walking the dogs, gardening, swimming, working out, or reading on the porch.
