I’m a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) prepared Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who earned my doctorate from Elms College. I have over 10 years of experience in mental health care and nearly 19 years in the nursing field. Throughout my career, I have worked in inpatient, outpatient and community settings.

I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner based in Massachusetts, and I've built my practice with a focus on making mental health care accessible. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and I bring a straightforward, caring approach to every session.

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, my goal is to treat the illness and not the symptoms. I specialize in working with adults experiencing depression and anxiety, and I focus on care that does not rely on medications that can be addicting or create dependence. For the past decade, I have helped clients feel more informed, more supported, and more hopeful about what healing can look like. I want our work together to feel thoughtful, personal, and grounded in what matters most to you, not just a list of symptoms or a quick fix. I work to understand the whole picture of your life so care feels meaningful, steady, and deeply your own.
Dr. Gross graduated from Albert Einstein College of Medicine and completed an internship in pediatrics at Montefiore Medical Center. During this time, a rotation with the child psychiatry consultation-liaison team solidified his interest in psychiatry, particularly the intersection of medical care, family dynamics, and the social contexts that shape patients’ mental health. He completed his general psychiatry residency at the University of Miami, followed by a child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
I believe good mental health care is about more than checking off symptoms on a list.
As a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health & Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner, I look at the whole picture—your mental health, physical health, sleep, hormones, nutrition, movement, stress, and everything else that may be affecting how you feel.

Frequently asked questions
Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Braintree
Finding psychiatrists in Braintree starts with knowing which type of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists focus on talk therapy and behavioral support. Both can be useful entry points, depending on what you’re looking for. If you want support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties and bio match your specific concerns.
Braintree has local options for psychiatric care, but supply can be more limited than in larger cities. Expanding your search to virtual appointments can give you more choices while keeping care accessible from home. Psychiatric medication management visits are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare options, review appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and what their profile says about communication style, visit structure, and areas of focus.
Psychiatric care in Braintree can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your needs, accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated costs before booking, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
