Professional statement

Melissa Muriel is a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience in psychiatric care, including inpatient and geriatric settings. She brings a thoughtful, whole person perspective to her work, integrating traditional psychiatry with a broader understanding of how biology, lifestyle, and stress impact mental health.

Her approach looks beyond symptoms alone, exploring how sleep, nutrition, stress, and underlying factors may be contributing to how someone feels. She focuses on creating a clear and individualized plan that may include medication when appropriate, along with practical, supportive guidance.

Melissa works with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, insomnia, mood changes, and cognitive concerns, especially when symptoms feel complex or have not fully responded to past treatment. Her style is warm, collaborative, and grounded, with an emphasis on helping patients feel understood and supported.

She offers telehealth appointments across CT, MA, NH, NY, RI, and VT, with limited in person availability in Providence, Rhode Island.

Message to clients

Reaching out is often the hardest part. You don’t need to have everything figured out, that’s what we do together.

I don’t rush to prescribe. I take time to understand your full story, your sleep, stress, history, and what may be contributing beneath the surface.

My approach blends traditional psychiatry with a broader, whole person perspective. This may include medication when appropriate, along with attention to lifestyle factors that can impact mood and overall mental health.

We work together to create a plan that feels thoughtful, practical, and realistic. The goal is not just to manage symptoms, but to help you feel better.
