Bonnie L. Gardner, CRNP-FNP, is a board-certified family nurse practitioner who brings a wealth of experience, compassion, and clinical excellence to Solace Mental Health and Wellness LLC. Her addition improves access, continuity of care, and supports the Solace holistic, whole-person treatment model. Mental health symptoms are often closely linked to medical conditions, medications, and lifestyle factors. 

A 2019 honors graduate, Bonnie has over six years of advanced practice experience across women’s health, primary care, and urgent care, in addition to more than 13 years as a bedside ICU registered nurse. She is known for her thoughtful, patient-centered, and evidence-based approach, taking the time to listen carefully, answer questions thoroughly, and engage patients in shared decision-making. Bonnie provides comprehensive care through both in-person and telehealth visits, offering personalized treatment plans, preventive care, and clear follow-up guidance that supports patients’ long-term health and well-being. Her broad clinical background, strong communication skills, and genuine commitment to patient education make her a tremendous asset to Solace and a trusted provider for the patients and families she serves.

Outside of her professional role, Bonnie has been married for over 21 years and is a proud parent of two children—one attending the University of Maryland and the other active on a high school JV baseball team. She enjoys hiking, traveling, gardening, and reading, and is an avid animal lover who shares her home with a snowshoe cat and a dingo mix. This balance of clinical expertise and personal warmth allows Bonnie to connect authentically with patients, further strengthening the supportive, high-quality care environment at Solace.
