About Me
Hi, I'm Melissa Shulman. I'm a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who is passionate about providing accessible and thoughtful care to my patients.
​
My treatment style is warm and authentic. I'll collaborate with you during our sessions to make sure you feel truly seen and supported.​
​
My Philosophy
I use a holistic approach to treat the root cause of mental health symptoms. Often there is more than just a "chemical imbalance" underlying your symptoms. Relationships, childhood experiences, and perceptions of the world around you, all play a crucial role in mental health. We'll work together, to ease your symptoms while addressing their deeper causes.
​​​​​​​
My goal is not just to prescribe you a medication and send you on your way — it’s to be a long-term, trusted partner in helping you build a rich and meaningful life.​​​

Three Ways to Pay
1
Insurance
We are currently in network with Cigna and Aetna. And we are working hard to get in network with United and BCBS.
2
Self-Pay
For patients who don't have insurance, our out of pocket fees are:
Intake (60 min): $250
Follow Up (30 min): $150
3
Out Of Network
If we are not in network with your insurance provider, you can ask them if you qualify for Out of Network Benefits (OON). In this case, you would pay out of pocket for visit costs, and then submit a Superbill to your insurance company to be reimbursed.
