What to Write on Your ‘About Me’ Page When You Feel Like You Have No Story Yet

If you’ve ever stared at a blank “About Me” section and thought,
“I don’t have a story worth sharing…”
You’re not alone.

A lot of new PMHNPs assume they need some kind of transformation to sound legitimate.
They scroll through other profiles and see trauma-to-triumph narratives, big pivots, and personal stories that seem more powerful than their own.

And so they freeze.
They either write something generic.
Or they avoid it altogether.

The thing is…
You don’t need a perfectly packaged story to connect with people.
You don’t need to turn your resume into a personality.
You don’t need to dig up pain just to prove you’re relatable.

What you do need is clarity.

Clarity about your values.
Clarity about how you work.
Clarity about who you want to support and why.

That’s what your “About Me” page is really for.
Not to impress.
To connect.

Here’s a simple structure to get started:

1. Start with the human side
This isn’t a clinical bio. It’s an introduction. Say something that feels like you.

“Hi, I’m [Name], a psychiatric nurse practitioner who’s passionate about helping people navigate anxiety, burnout, and life transitions.”

You don’t need to go deeper than that unless it feels right.

2. Share why you care about this work
Not your life story, just your why.

“I started my career in community mental health and saw how often people were rushed through care. I wanted to create a space that felt slower, more collaborative, and actually supportive.”

That’s more powerful than a dramatic backstory.
It’s honest. And it tells your future clients what to expect.

3. Describe how you work
This is where you build trust.

“My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and rooted in understanding the full context of what you’re navigating, not just your symptoms. We move at your pace, with a plan that fits your life.”

Keep it clear. Keep it conversational. Avoid jargon unless it’s necessary.

4. End with what they can expect next
This could be a gentle call to action or just a reminder that they’re in the right place.

“Whether you’re new to therapy or returning to care, I’m here to support you with respect, clarity, and compassion. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, I’d be honored to work together.”

That’s it.

You don’t need to share everything.
You don’t need a “hook.”
You don’t need to manufacture depth you already have.

You are enough as you are: learning, building, and offering care with intention.
