Bernadette Ranieri, PMHNP-BC

Hey there! I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and I’m all about providing compassionate and patient-centered care. With years of experience in telepsychiatry and acute inpatient care, I’ve helped teens, adults, and seniors. My goal is to make mental health care easy and effective for everyone.

I love using telehealth to connect with patients, offering thorough assessments and customized treatment plans. I focus on building trust and strong relationships, even through virtual sessions. I also collaborate closely with various healthcare teams to ensure comprehensive care.

Before diving into telepsychiatry, I worked in inpatient psychiatric facilities and emergency nursing. I have a knack for assessing symptoms, giving sound medical advice, and coordinating with other healthcare pros.

I earned my Master’s in nursing from Nova Southeastern University and am committed to ongoing education to stay updated with the latest in mental health care. I believe in effective and empathetic communication, always aiming to support my patients on their journey to better mental health.
