Pema Jessica Marcello, PMHNP

I am dual-certified as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C). My background in family practice and psychiatry helps me understand how emotional health, physical health, relationships, and life experiences are connected. I have cared for people with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, and substance use.

I understand that reaching out for mental health care can feel vulnerable. My goal is to create a warm, respectful space where you can speak openly and feel heard. I do not believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. We will work together to determine what feels realistic, meaningful, and helpful for your life. Medication can be an important tool, but it is not the only one. When appropriate, visits may include supportive therapy, coping skills, and exploration of sleep, stress, relationships, physical health, and routines.

Our first visit is an opportunity for me to hear your story, understand your concerns, and learn what you hope will change. We will explore your symptoms, history, physical health, medications, previous treatments, sleep, stressors, strengths, and what has or has not helped. From there, we will create a plan together. Follow-ups focus on progress, response to treatment, and adjusting the plan as your needs, goals, and circumstances change.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner across the lifespan. I have over 20 years of nursing experience, including labor and delivery and practicing as a Certified Nurse Midwife, before transitioning into psychiatry. My clinical focus includes depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, PMDD, and postpartum depression, with a holistic, integrative approach that treats the whole person—not just symptoms.

I offer evidence-based psychiatric care that treats each patient as a whole person, not a diagnosis. I enjoy working with patients managing mood, focus, or anxiety concerns, new mothers navigating postpartum shifts in mood, and those with long-standing mental health conditions. I understand that taking the first step toward care is hard, and I'm here to support patients through that process. Mental health struggles are nothing to be ashamed of.

My goal is to understand each patient's history, struggles, concerns, and goals to formulate a treatment plan unique to them. I prioritize supportive, open, and collaborative communication. I work with patients to explore treatment options, including medication and other approaches, to find what works best, since no single approach fits every patient. My focus is on sustainable strategies that help patients feel more like themselves and thrive, not just symptom management.
