Nelly Molano, MSN, FNP – Nurse Practitioner, Baltimore
With over twenty years of experience in Women’s Health practicing comprehensive gynecology, Nell brings to her eating disorder practice a passion to meld an intimate understanding of the physiologic, metabolic, and hormonal needs of women to their psychiatric struggles in context of the eating disordered patient. She is a specialist in abnormal menstrual cycles, pelvic pain, vaginitis, vaginismus, vulvodynia, dyspareunia (painful sex), low libido, sexual dysfunction, contraception, STD treatment and abnormal Pap smear management. Strongly anchored in critical feminist theory (Kate Manne, Susan Faludi, Coral Herrera Gomez), Dialectical Behavioral Theory (Salvador Minuchin, Esther Perel), Relational Life Therapy (Terry Real), and Internal Family Systems (Dick Schwartz) along with the latest developments in neuroscience (Iain McGilchrist, Gina Rippon), Nell takes into account the link of the affective state of the female via the prefrontal cortex and limbic systems of the brain, to the endocrine functions of the ovaries via the hypothalamic-pituatary-gonadal axis thus attempting to bring an elevated approach to the treatment of her patients physical, mental and spiritual needs. She is a graduate of Johns Hopkins and University of Maryland nursing programs.
