When depression keeps pulling you down, or anxiety will not let you rest, getting the right help can feel like its own burden: a therapist who cannot prescribe, a prescriber who barely knows your story. I am Amarachi, a psychiatric nurse practitioner with 13 years in psychiatric nursing and 6 years as a prescribing NP. I offer something rare: therapy and medication management in one relationship, with one provider who holds the full picture. I see adults across Massachusetts navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, PTSD, grief, OCD, panic, and sleep challenges.
Sessions are collaborative, never rushed, and built around where you are right now. I draw on cognitive behavioral approaches to examine the thoughts that drive distress, trauma-focused work that builds safety first, and motivational approaches to help you find your own direction. When medication is part of the plan, we manage it together.
You do not need to have it figured out before reaching out. Whatever has brought you here, I want to hear it. I offer care that is patient-centered at every step, a space where feeling heard is not a goal but a standard. If you are ready to move from simply managing to genuinely healing, I would love to talk.

My clients most often come in carrying depression that has not lifted, grief they cannot shake, or anxiety running in the background of everything. In our first sessions we work to understand what is actually driving the symptoms, not just name them. We build a plan together, and most clients notice real shifts in mood and functioning within the first several weeks.
