Miriam Fernandes, MSN, PMHNP-BC
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing compassionate, evidence-based care to adults. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, and burnout. My professional background includes experience in both high-acuity and outpatient psychiatric settings, where I have worked with individuals facing complex emotional and behavioral health challenges.
I strive to create a safe, respectful space where clients feel heard and empowered. My goal is to partner with you in developing a treatment plan that supports long-term wellness and meaningful change.
Are you struggling to find the motivation to meet your goals? Is it difficult to find joy in life? You do not have to face these challenges on your own. My mission is to help you rediscover your inner strength and reclaim control over your life.
I cannot move mountains for you, but I can help you climb. Facing fears, healing from loss, finding meaning and joy - these are the inevitable tasks of life. Therapy may be your first step or your last resort. Often people avoid it all together because they believe their pain is too great, worry they will be judged or that their situation is too complicated. Some people believe they should solve problems on their own or only with family and friends. However, while family and friends may want the best for us, they often come with opinions or past hurts. Sometimes it helps to have a safe space outside your daily experience.
I am Paul KiYoung Song, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, native in English and Korean, based in Boston. I trained in hospital settings at Boston Medical Center, Tufts Medicine, and NOCD, working with clients across a wide range of needs. I specialize in anxiety, OCD, and depression.
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 have experience supporting an treating a wide range of individuals, from young adults to older adults and geriatric patients.
Life can bring moments that feel heavy, confusing, or overwhelming—whether from anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, or loss of direction. You may feel stuck or unsure why certain patterns keep repeating. Therapy offers a safe and supportive space to explore what’s holding you back and create a path toward emotional clarity, healing, and growth. Together, we’ll uncover the “why” behind your challenges and help you move toward a calmer, more balanced, and empowered version of yourself.
I am a fat and queer therapist who understands the importance of showing up as your whole self. At Whole and True, LLC, I primarily support LGBTQ+ folks navigating OCD and anxiety, including those whose lives have gotten smaller because of fear, uncertainty, or avoidance. I also bring extensive experience treating eating disorders, trauma, and complex mental health concerns. My hope is to create a space where you feel understood, challenged, and supported as you build a life less governed by anxiety.
Welcome. My goal is to provide support, guidance, and encouragement in helping you to recognize what you already know about yourself...you willingness to try. In this world, with so many changes and stressors, it can be a good starting point.
My focus is in anxiety, life transitions, grief, and depression.
