Mercy Nyeche

Hello, and welcome to my page. I am honored that you are considering me as a partner in your mental health journey. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with more than eight years of experience providing psychiatric care across urgent care, crisis stabilization units, inpatient and outpatient psychiatry, walk-in medical clinics, emergency departments, and telepsychiatry.

My educational journey began with an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) from Los Angeles Harbor College in 2011. I went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from California State University, Long Beach in 2015. From there, I pursued advanced practice nursing, completing a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) in Adult-Gerontology Acute Care in 2017 and a Post-Master’s Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing in 2018, both from California State University, Los Angeles. In 2022, I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from the University of Massachusetts Global, Irvine. I am board certified in both psychiatric mental health and adult-gerontology acute care by the ANCC.

Please note that I do not provide disability paperwork, leave of absence documentation, FMLA forms, legal letters, school accommodation letters, or other administrative forms. The only documentation I provide is a work excuse note for the date of your appointment and, when clinically appropriate based on my evaluation and professional judgment, up to three (3) days off from work. If you require any of the services or documentation listed above, I kindly ask that you schedule with another provider who offers those services. Thank you for your understanding and for helping ensure that your healthcare needs are matched with the appropriate provider.

At the core of my practice is the belief that everyone deserves compassionate, respectful, and high-quality care. My style is warm, empathetic, and collaborative. I listen carefully to understand you as a whole person—not just a diagnosis. I encourage open dialogue, questions, and shared decision-making. I am mindful of the responsibility that comes with prescribing medications, and I am highly selective with controlled substances, always guided by careful evaluation and your long-term wellness.

My goals for Clients are:

• Prioritize safety and quality in every decision.
• Promote self-understanding through education.
• Encourage empowerment and motivation.
• Support long-term wellness through holistic approaches.

Your first session is an important step toward building trust and understanding. You can expect a thorough evaluation where I will ask about your history, current concerns, and goals for treatment. I will also provide education about your condition and treatment options. By the end of our first session, my goal is for you to feel a sense of relief, clarity, and confidence about moving forward with your care
