PMHNP-BC

My name is Melanie Kelley, and I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner passionate about delivering innovative mental health care, including psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment. I combine both medication management and psychotherapy modalities to treat children, adolescents, and adults to achieve sustainable and safe outcomes. As many of us know, treatment takes a collaborative and multimodal approach that is unique and individualized based on the patient's desired goals and outcomes. Therapy modalities I specialize in include the use of DBT, CBT, ACT, and family systems therapy. Additional modalities used within almost all sessions include psychodynamic and psychoanalytic, which identify the root of the problem, most commonly beginning in early childhood. 

 

As a former ER nurse who traveled the country for over five years, I personally know the immense lack of psychiatric care that exists after watching patients line the hallways on stretchers for days and weeks at a time. Every human being should go with the help they need; therefore, I made it my lifelong passion to give individuals the tools they need to succeed. 

 

Above all, I believe in empowering my patients to take an active role in their mental health by providing support and education in a safe and welcoming stigma free environment, making me an ideal choice for anyone seeking compassionate and effective care.
