Getting to know Joseph Depaola
*After booking, you will receive a link via IntakeQ so you can complete required intake forms prior to your appointment.*
As an ANCC board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, I bring years of diverse experience to help you navigate life's challenges. My background includes clinical research at Harvard University's McLean Hospital, hands-on care as a registered nurse on acute inpatient psychiatric units at McLean and New York Presbyterian – Columbia University Medical Center, and four years serving at-risk patients in Brooklyn's community health system. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from New York University, specializing in psychopharmacology and psychotherapy treatment modalities. This foundation allows me to address a wide range of concerns, including mood and anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, psychotic disorders, and personality difficulties.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When you work with me, you'll find a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment where your well-being is the priority. Every session is an opportunity for you to feel seen, heard, and understood. I know that navigating mental health can be overwhelming, so I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs and goals. Using elements of CBT, DBT, psychodynamic therapy, and supportive psychotherapy, I aim to provide tools and strategies that empower you to manage challenges more effectively. Together, we'll focus on enhancing self-awareness and building coping skills to foster resilience and growth.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our work begins with understanding—whether through a detailed initial assessment, exploring your experiences, or setting clear goals for care. Each session is a collaborative effort designed to explore your concerns in depth and identify practical solutions. If medication is part of your treatment, I'll ensure you feel informed and comfortable with every decision. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, or more complex diagnoses, we'll create a care plan that evolves with your progress. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling more confident, equipped, and empowered to lead a fulfilling life.
Your mental health journey deserves compassionate and expert guidance. Together, we'll create a path toward a brighter, healthier future.
