Asajnae Mercadel

Hi, I’m Asajnae Mercadel, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience in healthcare. My background in nursing has given me a strong foundation in understanding both the physical and emotional aspects of patient care. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, and sleep-related concerns. I’m passionate about creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable being open and honest. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered in your mental health journey.

My approach to care is centered on collaboration, where we work together to develop a treatment plan that supports your goals. I integrate medication management with cognitive behavioral strategies to help address symptoms and improve overall functioning. During our visits, we may briefly explore thought patterns and behaviors while focusing on optimizing your care. I also take a holistic approach, considering factors such as stress, lifestyle, and sleep.

You can expect your first session to focus on understanding you, your history, current concerns, and goals through a comprehensive evaluation. This helps create a strong foundation so your care is tailored to your individual needs. We will also discuss initial recommendations, including whether medication or additional support may be helpful. I will guide you through the process and adjust your care as needed, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way.
