Dr. Christian Meriscar, DNP, BA, PMHNP

Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
NJ
I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with over fifteen years of experience in behavioral healthcare, having served in various roles including residential counselor, registered nurse, and now as a doctor. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice and Bachelor's degrees from Rutgers University. I enjoy working with patients from diverse backgrounds, including those facing substance use, trauma, eating disorders, grief and loss, crises, and psychiatric concerns. My practice supports motivated clients in managing life's challenges by collaborating with them to develop the tools needed for successful and healthy lives. Together, we aim to identify your concerns, work through obstacles, and find solutions that support the best version of yourself. We will explore how biological factors (including prescribed medications when appropriate), psychological approaches (psychotherapy, person-centered, and empowering methods), and lifestyle choices impact your well-being. I believe in being open, honest, and forthcoming with my clients. No issue is too small or too large for us to work through toward a positive resolution. I am here to support you through your challenges and help guide you toward your wins.
