Hi, I’m Nicholas Ferreira ANP-BC, PMHNP-BC. I’m a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience helping people feel and live better. My background is unique in that I’m certified in both adult health and psychiatric mental health, which allows me to care for the whole person — body and mind. I work closely with adults 18 and older on a wide range of needs. I specialize in obesity medicine as well as psychiatry. My practice consists of medication management but also some therapy interventions to help patients attain their health goals. I would love to meet and work with you!
I have worked helping both men and women meet their mental health and weight loss goals. I can help with various aspects of mental health such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, and ADHD.
My goal is simple: to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to take steps toward better health. I believe lasting wellness comes from treating both physical and emotional well-being together, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
Take the first step to help. Call or Nicholas Ferreira now - (774) 425-7582

I often use some therapy along with medication management. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to our session and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With therapy, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
