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: EAP programs are not accepted.
As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I take a patient-centered approach to medication management that respects your goals and personal experiences. Clinical expertise matters deeply to me, and so does understanding you as a whole person rather than viewing you solely through a diagnosis or a set of symptoms.
Our first visit is comprehensive, welcoming, and unhurried. We'll discuss what you've been going through, including your symptoms, how long they've been present, what triggers or worsens them, and how they're impacting your everyday life. I take a sincere interest in your treatment history, exploring what you've tried, what has been helpful, and your own perspective on why certain approaches did or didn't succeed. We'll also go over your medical history, current medications, family psychiatric history, and the stressors you're facing at the moment. My hope is that you'll leave our first appointment feeling genuinely understood and confident that your care is grounded in a complete and accurate picture of who you are.
Every conversation about treatment is guided by shared decision-making. I'll lay out your options clearly, explain how each medication works and what the evidence shows, set realistic expectations about benefits and timelines, and discuss potential side effects openly, always keeping your preferences front and center. My prescribing follows evidence-based standards while being fully personalized to you, and I monitor your progress closely through your ongoing feedback, adjusting the plan according to how you respond.
If you notice side effects, have questions or concerns, or experience changes in how you're feeling, please contact me rather than waiting for your next appointment. When it's beneficial to your care, I also work together with your other providers, since coordinated treatment leads to the best outcomes and supports your path toward lasting health and wellness.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Please note that I do not accept EAP (Employee Assistance Program) benefits. Reaching out for mental health care takes courage, and it's a privilege to be part of your journey. From our first meeting, I provide a warm, judgment-free space where you can speak openly. During our initial 60-minute visit, I'll listen closely to what's on your mind, ask thoughtful questions to complete the picture, and gather what I need to care for you well.
I take a thorough history that includes your psychiatric symptoms, relevant medical conditions, current medications and supplements, allergies, past mental health treatment and how it worked, family mental health history, alcohol or substance use, and sleep habits. We'll also talk about the life factors that affect your well-being, like your home environment, work stress, and relationships.
My diagnostic process is transparent and collaborative. I'll share my clinical observations and explain how they relate to specific conditions, using current diagnostic guidelines while remembering you are far more than a checklist. Your lived experience stays at the center of the plan we build together.
If medication is clinically appropriate, I'll review your options in detail, including how different types of medication work, which may best fit your symptoms, what meaningful improvement looks like, which side effects to watch for, and alternatives if you have reservations. The final decision is always one we make together.
At first, follow-up visits are scheduled every three to four weeks, then monthly once you're stable. These visits let us evaluate how well your medication is working, manage any side effects, make adjustments when needed, and check in on how you're handling daily life.
Consistent communication is a key part of effective psychiatric care and helps you feel supported throughout. Above all, I hope over time you'll feel more grounded, more resilient, and more confident in yourself and your ability to face 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!
