Dr. Meseret Asfaw

I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with more than two decades of nursing, clinical, and academic experience. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Sacred Heart University and completed my post-master’s Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Across the Lifespan certification at Wilkes University. I also hold Master of Science (MS) and Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degrees from George Mason University. My extensive background in nursing and mental health allows me to provide compassionate, evidence-based, and individualized psychiatric care focused on each client’s unique needs and treatment goals.

My career in healthcare began as a bedside nurse, where I developed a strong foundation in compassionate, patient-centered care. I later transitioned into nursing education, teaching and mentoring future nurses and advanced practice providers. As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I provide evidence-based, individualized care across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, adults, and older adults.

My clinical practice includes comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, and medication management for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma-related disorders, ADHD, sleep disorders, and other mental health concerns.

During your first session, my priority is to create a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable sharing your concerns. We will take time to discuss your current symptoms, personal and mental health history, challenges, and treatment goals. I approach each client with dignity, compassion, and respect while prioritizing your privacy and safety.

Together, we will develop a personalized, evidence-based treatment plan that reflects your individual needs, preferences, and goals.
