Meet Chantal Tuffet
THE FACE OF FERN PSYCHIATRY
I know what it feels like to be diagnosed with an autoimmune condition.
And I also know what it takes to heal the body and mind and live a vibrant and energized life on your terms.
My Story
When I was diagnosed in 2016, I went through so many emotions—fear, frustration, confusion—my entire future felt uncertain and out of my control. I knew I didn’t want my diagnosis to define me. I was already on the path to becoming a nurse practitioner, and I couldn’t let this setback keep me from my goals – and my passion.
I focused on what I could control, created a wellness success plan for myself, and got to work: adjusting my diet, prioritizing sleep, managing my time effectively, and building a positive mindset.
Since then, I haven’t had a flare-up, I’m full of energy, brimming with hope about the future, and at peace. I knew the focus of my work had to be helping others going through these same struggles.
As a Board Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I bring both personal and professional experience to my work with patients. I understand how autoimmune conditions impact not just the body but the mind, and I’m dedicated to helping you regain control over both.
I provide psychiatric care, therapy, and lifestyle coaching to help you navigate the mental and emotional challenges of your diagnosis.
Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with an autoimmune condition for years, I’m here to guide you along your journey.
When I’m not taking care of my patients…
you’ll find me enjoying my neighborhood library (I love the fun, community-building activities they offer), enjoying long walks, kicking a soccer ball around with my son, or playing board games together—he beats me at Sorry! every time, and he’s not at all sorry about it!
