Mental health care that’s made for you.

We’re an independent, nurse-led online practice offering psychiatry and therapy.

At Lavender, you can access all the mental health care you need with one clinician. We’ll take the time to get to know you and your story, and build a care plan that fits your life.

Our goal is simple: to offer kind, convenient and genuine care that helps you flourish.

Founded by Women, Built on Nursing Expertise

For decades, Nurses have been one of the most trusted professions in the United States. That trust isn’t a coincidence. Nurses are there through life’s biggest and most challenging moments, listening, offering guidance, and helping people navigate what comes next.

Lavender was founded by two nurses who wanted to carry that same instinct into mental health care.  

“When we met at Yale, we connected over a shared frustration with a mental health system that too often left people feeling misunderstood. We knew we had something to offer that was missing. Lavender is our answer to that, making mental health care work for real life.”

— Brighid Gannon and Pritma Dhillon-Chattha, Co-Founders, Lavender

At Lavender, all our Clinicians are Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PMHNPs), meaning we bring rigorous psychiatric training together with a whole-person approach to care.

We’re fully licensed to diagnose, treat, and prescribe, but our training goes beyond clinical capability. Nursing philosophy means understanding you in the context of your full life and goals.

That’s the foundation Lavender was built on.

 

What Drives our Work

At Lavender, we strive to create a world where feelings are felt, respected, and cared for. We bring this vision to life by embracing five core values.

First, be kind.

We lead with empathy, transparency, and respect, especially in difficult moments. Kindness means being honest, inclusive, and thoughtful in how we communicate and support one another.

Be exceptional.

Everyone at Lavender acts like a leader. We hold ourselves to high standards, take ownership of outcomes, and bring momentum to our work. We don't wait for problems to be solved — we solve them.

Act with integrity.

We are honest, accountable, and trustworthy. We make decisions guided by ethics, responsibility, and what is best for clients and the team, even when it's hard.

Grow together.

Growth requires vulnerability, feedback, and collaboration. We learn from one another, engage in respectful debate, and invest in continuous development.

Celebrate & have fun.

We recognize progress, milestones, and the people who make Lavender special. We bring gratitude, energy, and lightheartedness to our work.
