Hi, I’m Dr. Nikunj Talati. I’m a board-certified psychiatrist who is passionate about supporting people through life’s challenges and helping them find balance, growth, and healing. I completed my medical training at Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine and my psychiatry residency at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. During that time, I had the privilege of working with people from many different backgrounds and learning the importance of tailoring treatment to each person’s unique needs and goals.

Following my training, I was honored to be nominated for the Outstanding Resident Award. I am now embarking on the next chapter of my career in Tampa, Florida, and am eager to begin seeing patients and contributing to the mental health and wellness of the community.

I am a double board-certified Nurse Practitioner in Psychiatry and Medicine–Surgical Nursing, with over 20 years of experience caring for patients across hospital and outpatient settings. I graduated from the University of Miami and served as a Cardiac Unit Head Nurse, where I developed a deep understanding of how stress, inflammation, and physical health influence emotional well-being. I also hold a Master’s degree in Education, reflecting my dedication to service and my passion for helping patients and families improve their health through knowledge and collaboration.

My call to start an outpatient psychiatry practice came from a desire to promote comprehensive, whole-person assessments that bridge mental and physical health. I’m passionate about helping people connect the dots between mind and body, especially when managing anxiety, depression, trauma, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Many of my patients come to me feeling stuck in cycles of overthinking or stress-related symptoms. Together, we work on regaining calm, control, and clarity through therapy, lifestyle balance, and self-awareness.
