About Gabrielle Sydow

Gabrielle Sydow is a Registered Nurse with additional academic focus in psychology. She has progressive leadership experience and a strong specialization in psychiatric and behavioral health care across correctional, acute, and residential treatment settings. Her clinical background is rooted in behavioral health and dual diagnosis treatment, with extensive experience managing patients with substance use disorders and complex psychiatric conditions, including schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, and severe mood disorders.

Experience

Gabrielle has a strong foundation in acute and rehabilitative nursing, including ventilator and tracheostomy management, respiratory and neurological assessments, wound care, IV therapy, and post-surgical recovery. Her experience across ICU, telemetry, medical-surgical, wound care, and rehabilitation settings enables her to effectively manage patients with complex co-occurring medical and psychiatric conditions.

Most recently serving as a Nurse Manager within a correctional facility, she oversaw nursing operations within a competency restoration program for individuals with severe psychiatric disabilities, many experiencing acute, untreated mental illness contributing to impaired judgment and legal involvement.
