Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New Hampshire


I believe effective mental health care starts with being heard. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), my goal for you is to provide a comprehensive evaluation that goes beyond symptom checklists—helping you understand what you're experiencing, why you're feeling the way you do, and what treatment options are available.

David Chmielecki

Therapist

Virtual • New Hampshire


A client comes in to see her therapist and is 10 minutes late. She sits down and apologizes for her tardiness, to which the therapist replies that no apologies are necessary as clients are only late for their first session.

The vignette illustrates something that I see in clients repeatedly who come into my office. Many should have come in at least a year or two ago but for some reason think that the problems they experience are still manageable.

While I admire the will of many of those who still manage life like the proverbial Dutch Boy and the dike, I believe that asking for help is a strength of its own. In therapy, I come from the perspective of someone that had to receive help at various times in my life. I've also had a meandering career path, meaning that I've worked in several fields and industries prior to becoming a therapist and have been able to do ground-level empathizing with people who work in blue and white-collar professions.
