Melissa Williams

Welcome. I’m Melissa A. Williams, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Soft Touch Wellness. I provide compassionate, personalized mental health care where you can feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself.

With more than 17 years of nursing experience and 10 years in leadership roles, I bring a broad clinical perspective to mental health care. My background in nursing education and healthcare leadership has reinforced the importance of listening, built trust, and involving you in decisions about your care.

I offer online psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adults in Florida and New York experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, grief, trauma, and life stressors. Together, we will explore your concerns, history, and goals to develop a treatment plan that fits your needs.

At Soft Touch Wellness, my goal is to help you feel supported as you work toward greater emotional wellness. Evening and weekend appointments are available. Contact me for a free 15-minute introductory call to discuss your needs and how we can work together.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. With more than 17 years of nursing experience and my current role as Director of Surgical Services, I bring a broad clinical perspective and an understanding of how stress, physical health, and everyday responsibilities can affect mental wellness. I take time to understand you as a person, including your concerns, strengths, and goals. Together, we develop an individualized treatment plan that may include medication management, supportive strategies, and therapy recommendations. I explain your options clearly, so you feel informed and involved in your care.

You can expect a welcoming, judgment-free conversation where you can share what brought you to care at a pace that feels comfortable. We will discuss your symptoms, medical and mental health history, previous treatments, and how you have been feeling and functioning day to day. We will also explore what you hope to achieve through treatment. From there, we will review recommendations together, including whether medication may be appropriate, and make time for your questions. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and clear about the next steps.
