Getting to know Justin Leahy
Hi, I’m Justin Leahy, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 10 years of experience helping individuals navigate challenges related to depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and other mood disorders. I specialize in medication management and take a thoughtful, collaborative approach to psychiatric care.
My background includes working in diverse clinical settings, which has given me a broad perspective on mental health and the tools to support a wide range of individuals. I aim to create a warm, respectful, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood.
In our sessions, you can expect a partnership. I take time to understand your story, explain treatment options clearly, and work with you to develop a plan that supports your goals and values. I believe in balancing evidence-based treatment with a personalized, human-centered approach.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When you work with me, you can expect a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment where your experiences are heard and respected. I believe that mental health care works best when it’s built on trust, honesty, and mutual understanding. I approach treatment with curiosity, compassion, and a strong commitment to helping you meet your goals—whether that means finding the right medication, understanding your symptoms, or simply feeling more like yourself again.
With over a decade of experience in psychiatric settings, I specialize in medication management for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and more. I value open communication and will always take the time to explain your treatment options so we can make decisions together. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling supported, informed, and empowered to take the next step in your journey toward wellness.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
During our initial session, I focus on getting to know you—your history, current concerns, and what you hope to gain from treatment. We’ll explore both your mental health and any relevant medical background to build a full picture of your wellness.
From there, we’ll work together to create a treatment plan that may include medication management, lifestyle strategies, and regular check-ins to assess progress and make adjustments as needed. I prioritize education and communication—you’ll always know the “why” behind any treatment recommendations.
Follow-up sessions are structured but conversational, offering space to talk through your experiences, manage symptoms, and fine-tune care. My goal is to support you in feeling more stable, confident, and in control of your mental health.
