Psychiatric Prescriber Team

Katelyn Custer is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who is passionate about supporting women through every stage of life with compassionate, personalized mental health care. She earned her Master of Science in Nursing from Indiana Wesleyan University and brings a diverse clinical background across behavioral health, community health, and women’s health settings.

Prior to becoming a PMHNP, Katelyn worked as a labor and delivery nurse, where she supported women and families through pregnancy, childbirth, and the immediate postpartum period. She has also completed lactation consultant training, further strengthening her ability to care for mothers navigating the physical and emotional challenges of early motherhood.

Katelyn specializes in the evaluation and treatment of mood and anxiety disorders, including depression, postpartum depression, and trauma-related conditions. Her background in maternal care gives her a unique perspective in supporting women during pregnancy and postpartum, when mental health needs are often most acute and under-addressed.

She takes a holistic, patient-centered approach—partnering closely with each woman to understand her unique experiences, symptoms, and goals. Katelyn integrates evidence-based medication management with thoughtful education and collaboration, helping patients feel informed, supported, and confident in their care.

Katelyn is committed to improving access to women’s behavioral health and creating a safe, supportive space where patients feel heard and empowered throughout their journey.
