How It Works
Starting your care with Nerisa is straightforward. No complicated intake portals. Just reach out and she'll take it from there.
Reach Out
Send a message using the form below or call Nerisa directly. She'll confirm your insurance and availability, and answer any questions you have before booking.
Initial Mental Health Session
The first online video session is spent gathering your psychiatric and medical history to get a full, accurate picture of what you have been going through. Nerisa will take the time to properly evaluate your physical and mental health in order to arrive at the best possible intervention and treatment to suit your specific needs.
Follow-Up Sessions
Online follow-up sessions allow Nerisa to monitor the effectiveness of the current treatment and make adjustments as needed. Her goal is to support you in achieving your own objectives for mental and emotional renewal and recovery.
The Kind of Psychiatric Care You've Been Looking For
Nerisa understands the frustrations of feeling ignored by a provider. That's not how she operates.
She Responds. Always.
If you've been frustrated by long response times from a previous provider, or have even been ghosted entirely, you're not alone. It's one of the most common reasons patients come to Nerisa. Here, responsiveness isn't a bonus — it's a baseline you can count on.
Private Insurance Accepted
Many solo PMHNPs are cash-only. Nerisa accepts private insurance, making quality psychiatric care accessible to patients who have it. Verify your coverage before your first appointment.
No Judgment. Ever.
Nerisa believes you. She takes your concerns seriously and will never make you feel like a problem to solve. You are a person who deserves real, personalized care.
Skip the Commute
Remote appointments mean you can see Nerisa from home, your car, your office, wherever you are in New York or New Jersey. Evening and weekend availability included.
Personalized Attention
You'll see the same provider every appointment, not whoever happens to be available. Nerisa knows her patients, and she keeps it that way on purpose.
Evening & Weekend Hours
Nerisa sees patients Monday through Friday evenings and both days on weekends — so you don't have to take time off work or rearrange your week just to see a provider. Care that fits around your life, not the other way around.
