Getting to know Micaela Pericone-Kapp
I'm Micaela Pericone-Kapp, an adult psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner at Mental Health Practitioners. I'm here to support you through virtual consultations that fit into your life.
I earned my doctoral degree in psychiatric and mental health nursing from UMass Global, completing 765 clinical training hours. I'm certified in BLS, ACLS, and NIHSS, and I bring over six years of hands-on nursing experience from critical care, ICU, and emergency departments. This background has taught me the importance of seeing the whole person, not just symptoms.
My approach is simple: I believe in building real, authentic connections with the people I work with. I use evidence-based practices because they work, but I also know that your journey is uniquely yours. I'm committed to collaborative care, which means I'll work closely with your other healthcare providers, family members, and support systems to help you achieve the best possible outcomes.
I'm here to listen, support, and partner with you on your path to wellness.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Please note: I do not accept EAP programs.
I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and I approach medication management from a patient-centered perspective that respects your goals and lived experience. Clinical expertise is very important to me, and so is getting to know you as a whole person instead of seeing you only through a diagnosis or a set of symptoms.
Your first appointment is thorough, welcoming, and never rushed. We'll talk about what you've been experiencing, including your symptoms, how long they've lasted, what triggers them or makes them worse, and how they're affecting your everyday life. I explore your treatment history with genuine curiosity, looking at what you've tried, what has helped, and your own sense of why certain approaches did or didn't work. We'll also review your medical history, current medications, family psychiatric history, and the stressors you're dealing with right now. My hope is that you'll leave that first visit feeling truly understood and confident that your care is built on a complete and accurate picture of who you are.
Shared decision-making shapes every conversation we have about treatment. I'll present your options clearly, explain how each medication works and what the research shows, give you realistic expectations about benefits and timelines, and talk honestly about possible side effects, with your preferences always at the forefront. My prescribing is guided by evidence-based standards yet fully tailored to you, and I track your progress closely through your ongoing feedback, adjusting the plan based on how you respond.
If you experience side effects, have questions or concerns, or notice changes in how you're feeling, please contact me instead of waiting until your next visit. When it benefits your care, I also collaborate with your other providers, because coordinated treatment leads to the best outcomes and supports your journey toward lasting health and wellness.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Please note: I do not accept EAP programs.
Reaching out for mental health care takes courage, and it's a privilege to support you on that path. From our first meeting, I focus on creating a warm, judgment-free space where you can speak openly and honestly. Our first hour together is spent listening carefully to what's troubling you, asking gentle questions to fill in the gaps, and gathering what I need to help you well.
I take a detailed history, including your psychiatric symptoms, relevant medical conditions, current medications and supplements, allergies, past mental health treatment and how it went, family psychiatric history, substance use, and sleep. I'll also ask about the social factors that shape your wellbeing, such as housing, work pressures, and relationships.
My diagnostic process is open and collaborative. I'll share what I'm seeing clinically and how it relates to specific diagnoses, using current diagnostic criteria while remembering that you're much more than a checklist. Your lived experience stays at the center of the plan we build together.
If medication is clinically appropriate, I'll walk you through your options in full: how different medication classes work, which may best fit your symptoms, what realistic improvement looks like, which side effects to watch for, and alternative approaches if anything gives you pause. The final decision is always one we make together.
Follow-up visits occur every three to four weeks at first, then move to monthly once you're stable. These appointments let us evaluate how your medication is working, manage side effects, make adjustments when needed, and check in on your daily functioning and quality of life.
Staying in good contact is a cornerstone of quality psychiatric care, and it helps you feel supported throughout treatment. More than anything, I hope that over time you'll feel steadier, stronger, and more confident in yourself and your ability to navigate whatever comes next.

My journey with mental health has always been arduous. I’ve seen several providers for about 18 years now, but very few meet the standard Micaela has set for our appointments. I always feel heard, understood, and taken seriously during our visits. She takes great care in making sure that my medication journey is collaborative, using her expertise and my comfort to develop a treatment plan that works best for me both long and short term.
She’s incredibly warm, kind, engaging and has a wonderful habit of explaining the why and how, as well as transparency about why certain decisions may or may not be taken. Instead of dreading my psych appointments, I now feel happy to let her know about the amazing progress we’ve made. I cannot recommend her and her services enough. My life is finally tipping towards the better with her aid and knowledge. She’s everything I look for in a mental health professional - kind, compassionate, professional, collaborative, and deeply knowledgeable!

I thought starting off with a new provider would be difficult but after my prior Dr left the practice suddenly. It was so refreshing meeting with her. She listened and cared about my concerns. About my current situation and overall mental well being. So beyond happy. Will highly recommend !

I had a very insightful and informative visit with Micaela. She was kind and patient with me, and would be sure to check if I was comfortable sharing something or not. I felt very listened to, and appreciate the care and consideration she took for her treatment suggestions (whether medication, supplements and therapy could help.) It was very comprehensive, and I didn't feel overlooked or rushed like I have at other practices.

Micaela is so personable and helpful! Managing mental health can be daunting and exhausting, but she made the process seamless and easy. She listened to all of my concerns with patience and empathy, never making me feel rushed or dismissed. Her warm demeanor instantly put me at ease, and I left the appointment feeling supported, understood, and hopeful. I truly appreciate her dedication and the genuine care she shows toward her patients.

Micaela is a breath of fresh air! Of all the psychiatrists I’ve seen before, she is by far the kindest, most compassionate & thoughtful person I’ve had the pleasure of meeting! She really takes the time to get to know you & her depth of knowledge really shows in the way she explores unique/less common medication options that are still evidence based and thoughtfully chosen.
Highly recommend Micaela to everyone!
