Taking the first step toward seeking mental health support is meaningful, and I’m glad you’re here. I’m a dual certified Psychiatric and Family Nurse Practitioner with a treatment focus on OCD, anxiety and depression. I aim to create a space where you feel understood, supported and empowered in your care.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) who understands the importance of providing healthcare from a holistic perspective, centered on healing the whole person (mind, body, and spirit). I am certified in working with all ages, from children to the elderly. I can help with anxiety, depression, bipolar, ADHD, ASD, and Schizo-affective disorders. My psychiatric experience includes working in acute care psychiatric hospitals as well as private practice outpatient mental health care.
Dr. Muriana B. Jeanniton, DNP, PMHNP‐BC, is a psychiatric clinician, military officer, and founder of BMPMHS, LLC. She brings a calm, steady presence to every session — the kind that helps people breathe again.
Born in Port‐au‐Prince and raised in Boston, Dr. Jeanniton built her life from resilience, overcoming early hardship and homelessness to become a leader in mental health, forensic nursing, and crisis stabilization.
With 12 years of experience as a psychiatric provider and nearly 20 years in healthcare overall, she blends clinical precision with genuine human connection. Her background spans medical‐surgical nursing, emergency care, inpatient psychiatry, outpatient treatment, and crisis stabilization. Patients describe her as warm, direct, and grounding — someone who listens with intention and treats with clarity.
In addition to her civilian practice, Dr. Jeanniton serves as a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve, supporting humanitarian missions, crisis deployments, and large‐scale public health operations. Her dual background in military leadership and psychiatric care shapes her ability to remain steady, thoughtful, and effective in high‐pressure environments.
She believes healing begins with being truly understood. Her work reflects purpose, service, and the belief that every person deserves dignity, stability, and a space where they can finally exhale.
I am a board-certified, Harvard-trained psychiatrist providing psychiatric evaluations, medication management and therapy to children, adolescents and adults. I treat a wide variety of mental illness, and I specialize in helping individuals with ADHD, depression, anxiety, autism and those who are gender-diverse or other LGBTQ+ individuals.
My path into psychiatry began in surgery, where I originally planned to become a neurosurgeon. During medical school, I participated in a diving expedition and later worked on the Biosphere 2 project — experiences that immersed me in extreme environments and sparked a deep curiosity about how people think, feel, and relate to one another under pressure. That curiosity led me to psychiatry, and since then I have combined rigorous medical training with psychodynamic study to better understand and treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. I provide telehealth psychiatric care to adults, adolescents, and children in Massachusetts and Connecticut, with a special focus on trauma, treatment-resistant conditions, and pediatric psychiatry, including ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorders. Many of the people I work with have felt unheard or discouraged in previous treatment — and I take that seriously.
You deserve a prescriber who listens before prescribing. I'm George Njoroge, a board certified psychiatric provider helping people manage anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, and insomnia with practical, personalized medication management. I believe mental health treatment works best when it's collaborative, not one size fits all. My background spans community mental health and private practice, giving me experience with people from many walks of life, including young adults, working professionals, parents, and older adults navigating life transitions. I take time to understand your full picture, your history, your goals, and your daily life, before recommending a treatment plan. Patients often tell me they feel genuinely heard, not rushed through a checklist. I stay current on the latest psychiatric research so you get evidence based care that actually fits your life. Whether you're starting treatment for the first time or looking for a new provider after a frustrating experience elsewhere, I'm here to help you feel like yourself again, with warmth, respect, and zero judgment.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with 2 years of advance psychiatric practice and a total of 15 years of experience in healthcare. I specialize in evidence-based care for adults living with anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and life transitions, combining thoughtful medication management with practical strategies that help clients build a deeper understanding of their mental health.
In addition to my clinical practice, I am an author and whole-body wellness advocate. My book, BePurBold: A Woman's Journey to Whole Body Wellness, reflects my belief that lasting mental health is rooted in lifestyle, resilience, and whole-person well-being. My goal is to offer a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard, valued, and active partners in their own care.
I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, educator, researcher, and real person who believes mental health care should feel supportive, honest, and approachable. I’ve been a nurse since 2012 and a psychiatric nurse practitioner since 2016, and I bring warmth, humor, and clinical expertise into my work. I provide medication management and psychotherapy for adults and adolescents 16+ navigating depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, panic symptoms, and life stressors. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered in your care.
I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, social anxiety, panic, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or insomnia. I offer thoughtful medication management for people who want support that fits their life and builds on the work they are already doing. You are motivated to work to improve your quality of life, and I will meet you with warmth, respect, and care. Ideally, you are in therapy and want to add medication management to augment what you are already working on. We can create a plan that feels practical, collaborative, and personal—not a one-size-fits-all.
I’m Sheela M. Palma, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing from The Ohio State University.

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 Chelmsford
Finding psychiatrists in Chelmsford starts with knowing what type of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of care. Therapists focus on talk therapy and behavioral support. If you’re looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach to see whether their experience matches what you want support with.
In a smaller city like Chelmsford, the number of local psychiatry options may be more limited than in nearby larger areas. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while still letting you search for psychiatrists licensed in Massachusetts. Psychiatric medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and what their bio says about communication style and care structure.
Psychiatric care in Chelmsford 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 you book. Headway lets you enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, and find psychiatrists who match your preferences and are accepting new patients with your plan, so you can review bios and book directly when you’re ready.
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.
