Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New York


Hi there, I'm Marissa Taylor, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have worked as an Emergency Room Nurse for over 10 years, then decided to continue my education and become a psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I earned my Master's degree from Stony Brook University in 2022 and my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Molloy College. I have gained experience in outpatient psychiatric offices as well as working in inpatient psychiatric units. I have specialized in managing diagnoses such as ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and major depression. My goal is to help patients who have difficulty finding a provider and, hopefully, provide them with virtual access to psychiatric care to support their needs. I aim to be someone a patient feels comfortable speaking with, being honest with, and making progress with in their mental health. I also stay up to date on ongoing changes in mental health practice. Also, I am fluent in Spanish.

My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, I am committed to helping you build insight, resilience, and confidence while working toward your personal goals.

I get it. You’re tired of feeling stuck, exhausted, and like nothing’s really changing. You’ve been carrying a lot, and it’s starting to feel heavy. As a psychotherapist in practice for over 10 years, I’m passionate about walking alongside adults on their healing journey, especially those navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Whether you're a professional burning out, a veteran facing emotional pain, or a student trying to find your footing, I offer support rooted in compassion and real tools like EMDR and CBT. More importantly, I create a space where you can show up just as you are and feel truly seen, safe, and supported.

I utilize an evidenced-based holistic approach with the patient's concerns being front and center. If medications are to be used, then it is priority to ensure that the most benefit is provided, with the least amount of medication onboard. The most important tool a provider can use is simply listening. We are all seeking that "better space for mental well being, and I strive in helping people move closer on this journey.
