Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
I’m, Patricia Smith, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at our Somerville clinic with a diverse nursing background caring for adults with a wide range of medical and mental health needs. I provide psychiatric evaluation and medication management for adults across the lifespan. I bring a compassionate, grounded approach to care and believe that understanding the person behind the symptoms is essential to meaningful treatment. I value building genuine connections and creating an environment where you feel comfortable being yourself and talking openly about what brings you to care.
Together, we will explore treatment options, discuss the benefits and considerations of each, and develop a plan that reflects your needs, preferences, and goals. I believe the best treatment decisions are made collaboratively, with you as an active partner in your care.
Reaching out for mental health care can feel like a big step, and finding the right provider matters. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and involved in your care. Wherever you are in your mental health journey, we can work together toward meaningful change and improved well-being.
