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.
While every person's journey is unique, many clients report feeling more hopeful, confident, and emotionally grounded as they begin the therapeutic process. Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and never judged.
For more than a decade, I've worked with children, teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and everyday stress. I believe that the foundation of successful therapy is a genuine, trusting relationship. I take the time to get to know you, meet you where you are, and tailor treatment to your unique needs and goals.
Clients often describe me as warm, compassionate, and easy to talk to. They appreciate that I balance listening and validation with practical tools they can begin using in their daily lives. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, we'll work together at a pace that feels right for you. My hope is that you'll leave each session feeling heard, supported, and equipped with strategies to help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
Choosing a therapist can be difficult. I like to help my client feels empowered in an affirming environment to meet their needs and goals.
Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker | Certified Dementia Practitioner
Boston, MA | In-Person & Telehealth Sessions
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP) with more than two decades of clinical experience helping adults navigate complex emotional, relational, and medical challenges. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Boston College and have dedicated my career to providing thoughtful, evidence-based care rooted in authenticity, compassion, and the belief that genuine change is possible at every stage of life.
My areas of specialization include anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, medical conditions, LGBTQ+ identity and relationships, grief and loss, end-of-life issues, and advanced care planning. My integrative approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and a Humanistic framework. I believe that movement is medicine, and that healing emerges through the mind–body connection — where awareness, purpose, and action intersect.
As a gay clinician, I am deeply committed to creating an affirming, inclusive space where clients can explore identity, relationships, and resilience with honesty and respect. I strive to help each person cultivate balance, clarity, and a renewed sense of possibility in their lives.
Many of my clients come to me feeling like something is holding them back. Stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, struggling to communicate in ways that feel authentic, or searching for healthier ways to cope with life's challenges. They often describe a sense that their personal growth has stalled, even when they can't quite put their finger on why.
