Patrick Masiasia

APRN, CNP, PMHNP-BC

I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Nurse Practitioner specializing in patient-centered mental health treatment. I started my career in behavioral health in inpatient psychiatric settings, receiving intense training across the lifespan and with multiple therapeutic settings, involving cultural diversity. I'm currently accepting new patients via telehealth for patients aged 12 years and above. I advocate for evidence-based practice and the need to tailor treatment to address the distinct needs of each individual. My professional interests have broadened to encompass pharmaceutical treatment for concomitant substance use disorders, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, other psychotic illnesses, trauma, borderline personality, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. I am also engaged in medication management for patients with depressive and bipolar disorders, anxiety disorders, sleep problems, ADHD, and other mental illnesses.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach emphasizes the efficacy of psychotropic medications when appropriately integrated with psychotherapy and lifestyle modifications. My objective is to collaborate and develop a patient-centered treatment plan tailored to each individual. I focus on and employ existential therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, a holistic approach, and cognitive behavioral therapy in conjunction with medication management.

What you can expect from our first session

I like my patients to feel empowered and acknowledged following each session. Predicting a precise trajectory for therapy progression and symptom alleviation can sometimes be challenging since mental health therapy is not invariably a linear process. I collaborate with each patient to develop a tailored treatment plan to alleviate symptoms and enhance everyday functioning. I emphasize a patient-centered approach, using evidence-based practices and customizing treatment regimens to meet individual needs.

NOAMH serves communities in metro areas across Hennepin, Ramsey, and Anoka counties, both in person and virtually. We are in Fridley City, and we're committed to expanding mental health services in traditionally underserved communities by offering virtual services as well.
