Nicole Carissimi

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to provide support, connection, and understanding on the path to healing through comprehensive, integrative care. I earned my BSN from Drexel University and my MSN from the University of Pennsylvania. My clinical focus includes ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and other mood disorders, with a special interest in supporting individuals with a history of substance use. I am passionate about sleep and its role in emotional well-being. I believe restorative rest is the cornerstone of mental health. Prioritizing healthy sleep patterns is a fundamental component of the personalized care plans I develop. I have completed introductory training on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) which allows me to incorporate those principles and strategies into our treatment plan. I’m committed to staying at the forefront of psychiatric care, which is why I completed the Master Psychopharmacology Program through the Neuroscience Education Institute (NEI). This advanced training deepened my expertise in the safe, effective, and evidence-based use of psychiatric medications. I have also completed the Integrative Psychiatry Certification from the Integrative Psychiatry Institute (IPI) which allows me to thoughtfully incorporate nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle interventions into a scientifically sound whole-person care model. By combining this knowledge with a compassionate, whole-person approach, I work to ensure that each treatment plan is tailored to the client's unique needs and goals.
