Janice Nelson, NP — Psychiatrist in New York

Hi there, I'm Janice!

I spent time in the ICU at a psychiatric hospital, where my interest was sparked to pursue a career as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. This experience shaped my commitment to supporting individuals through their mental health challenges.

My focus

I typically work with individuals who experience anxiety, depression, dementia, and ADHD.

My approach

My approach to care is patient-centered and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Multicultural, Person-Centered, Positive Psychology, and Reality Therapy.

My communication style

Clients have shared that I have a relaxing tone of voice during our sessions together.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a mental healthcare provider began in the ICU with patients who had overdosed. If they were fortunate enough to wake up, I would sit with them and speak about how they came to be in that situation. The desire to help others deal with personal issues and trauma continues to make me strive to be a better practitioner.

My goals for you

We work on one small goal at a time over a short period, then proceed forward with longer-term goals over a longer period of time.

Our first session

You should expect our first meeting to be about building rapport with each other by sharing information and getting to know one another.
