Joanne Probert, PMHNP-BC

Hi! My name is Jo Probert and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), dedicated to providing collaborative, person centered care. I work with clients across the lifespan but am particularly passionate about providing care for adolescents and transitional age youth, along with neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ people. I completed my master’s level training as a PMHNP at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) where I had the opportunity to facilitate the LGBTQIA+ Health Forum, dedicated to reducing health disparities and improving quality of care for sexual and gender minorities. Before becoming a nurse practitioner, I received a bachelor’s in public health from the University of California, Berkeley and worked as an HIV Test Counselor at the Berkeley Free Clinic, providing testing, education, and harm reduction services. I then spent several years working in clinical research at UCSF, as part of the POST SCD project, examining causes of sudden death and working with bereaved families, before deciding to return to school and become a PMHNP. Outside of the clinic, you can find me on the climbing wall, searching for the best gluten free bakeries, or playing with my two cats.
