Dr. Muriana Jeanniton

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Massachusetts


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.
