I’m a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) providing psychiatric care for adults in Massachusetts, both in person and via telehealth. I specialize in medication management and psychiatric evaluations for anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD/trauma, and bipolar disorder, interpersonal stressors, and overall life changes that make it hard to manage everyday responsibilities.

I am privileged to support clients through life transitions, grief, and emotional pain. It would be an honor to walk alongside you and to help you feel empowered through your current life stage. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with a background in mental health in a primary care setting. I offer therapy in English or Spanish. Ofrezco terapia en Español.

I am a Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who offers compassionate, trauma-informed medication management within a warm, collaborative space. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, mood changes, trauma-related symptoms, and periods of transition, and I deeply value creating a sense of safety and understanding in the therapeutic relationship.

I approach mental health with curiosity and care, believing that symptoms often carry important information about what the nervous system has been holding or managing for a long time. Clients often share that they feel heard, respected, and less alone in our work together. My intention is to support people in reconnecting with themselves and moving through life with greater steadiness and self-trust.

I have spent a majority of my training working across the lifespan from childhood to adulthood, and within family systems. I am trained in helping clients with stress and anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, family conflicts, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and depression. Some of the individuals that I work with are in recovery from eating and substance-related disorders. My clients often face school and work avoidance and may find it difficult to do things they once enjoyed.

Therapy offers a space to slow down and look inward to what you truly want and need. It can be difficult to hear your inner voice when many things can get in the way of this— stress and responsibility, painful feelings or experiences, beliefs that are holding you back, fear of change.

I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience working with adults navigating some of life's hardest seasons — infertility, adoption, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and the kind of grief that doesn't have a clear name yet. I'm faith-integrated in my approach, which means I honor the role spirituality plays in your life without ever making it a requirement. My clients describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and refreshingly direct. I don't do one-size-fits-all therapy — every treatment plan starts with your story.

I offer a fun but structured environment in which children and teens, feel safe and supported.

The developmental stages of life can leave us struggling to move forward. The stressors of life can compound those struggles. I believe in a strengths based, positive approach to supporting developmental stages and life stressors, one where together we build skills for success and growth.

While supporting a diverse population of clients throughout the years, it has become clear that there is a strong need to nurture our mental health. For centuries the medical industry has focused largely on physiological concerns. Within recent years, we have come to pay closer attention to the relationship between our physical and emotional well-being.

With over 11 years of experience in the mental health field, I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up as your full, authentic self without judgment and without having to navigate life’s challenges alone. I am a licensed psychologist and have had the privilege of supporting individuals and families across hospitals, schools, and community settings, working with people from diverse backgrounds and at many different stages of life.

About Marc Maccini, LMHC

Helping you find your voice and find your way.

If you feel "stuck"—whether in your career, your relationships, or your own skin—you aren't alone. Often, the path forward isn't about working harder, but about finding the right tools to navigate life with more confidence and clarity. I specialize in helping individuals break through those plateaus, develop firm assertiveness skills, and reclaim their sense of direction.

Background: I earned my Master of Education (M.Ed) from the University of Massachusetts and am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). My background in both education and the arts allows me to bridge the gap between clinical expertise and real-world relatability.

I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with more than 20 years of nursing experience, complemented by specialized education and clinical expertise in psychiatry and psychopharmacology. I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where every patient is treated with dignity, respect, and empathy.

My approach is collaborative and patient-centered, empowering individuals to actively participate in their mental health journey. I work closely with each patient to develop personalized treatment plans that may include medication management, psychotherapy, lifestyle modifications, and complementary approaches such as nutrition, exercise, and other evidence-based interventions. My goal is to help patients build resilience, improve their overall well-being, and achieve lasting, meaningful improvements in their mental health and quality of life.
