Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Hi, I’m Mercy Nyeche, DNP, PMHNP-BC. I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping adults regain clarity, confidence, and emotional balance.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming especially when you’re used to being the strong one for everyone else. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, you don’t have to do it alone.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based. I take time to truly listen, understand your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan that fits your life, not just your symptoms.

Please note that I do not provide disability paperwork, leave of absence documentation, FMLA forms, legal letters, school accommodation letters, or other administrative forms. The only documentation I provide is a work excuse note for the date of your appointment and, when clinically appropriate based on my evaluation and professional judgment, up to three (3) days off from work. If you require any of the services or documentation listed above, I kindly ask that you schedule with another provider who offers those services. Thank you for your understanding and for helping ensure that your healthcare needs are matched with the appropriate provider.

I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who believes mental health care should feel human—not rushed or impersonal.

I provide a non-judgmental space where you can speak openly and feel understood. My approach integrates thoughtful medication management with psychotherapy when appropriate, always tailored to your individual needs.

I offer collaborative, grounded care to help you move toward a more balanced, integrative, and holistic sense of well-being.
