Miriam Fernandes, MSN, PMHNP-BC
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing compassionate, evidence-based care to adults. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, and burnout. My professional background includes experience in both high-acuity and outpatient psychiatric settings, where I have worked with individuals facing complex emotional and behavioral health challenges.
I strive to create a safe, respectful space where clients feel heard and empowered. My goal is to partner with you in developing a treatment plan that supports long-term wellness and meaningful change.
I do not perform disability work.
I’ve been in practice for over 13 years since completing my postgraduate training at Harvard and University of California affiliated programs. I am board certified in adult, child, and adolescent psychiatry.
I’m open minded, non judgemental, and most of all, want to help. My private practice is just getting started, so I am scheduling patients on an immediate basis.
