About Gillian Rice, MSN, PMHNP-BC
Gillian Rice, PMHNP is a psychiatric nurse practitioner at Brightline's Albany clinic and provides online care for families in New Jersey. Her approach is holistic, evidence-based, and grounded in the belief that a child's physical health, mental wellbeing, and social environment are all deeply connected.
Gillian specializes in psychiatric care for kids and adolescents navigating ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, and more. She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing, and works closely with therapists to ensure that every visit is purposeful and goal-oriented. Her background spans acute care and community-based settings, most recently providing psychiatry services to rural communities, giving her a broad foundation for thoughtful, comprehensive assessment.
What drives Gillian is helping young people find their footing through care that meets them where they are and gives them the tools to move forward.

What is a psychiatric nurse practitioner?
Our psychiatric nurse practitioners are independently licensed practitioners who have advanced certificates or licenses. They are qualified to do diagnostic evaluations and provide medication management. Psychiatric nurse practitioners do not hold ongoing therapy sessions, but they often incorporate brief psychotherapeutic skills into their care and are able to directly refer families who need that service to a Brightline therapist or psychologist.
