Meet Dr. Margaret Burchianti, DNP, ARNP

As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who has a background in cultural and anthropological studies, your story is important to me. I believe that feeling heard and understood is a crucial part of the healing process. You can therefore count on me to listen intently to you, as a critical component of an integrative, root-cause-based treatment approach.

I also consider my role to be a bit like that of a detective. Together, we will gather the evidence we need from your story — along with lab and other assessment data — in order to answer the question: What is causing your symptoms? Working together with you, I will strive to identify and treat the roots of your symptoms -- thus aiming for a deep, long-lasting healing of mind, body and spirit.

My approach stems from my background: After working as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in a conventional practice for a number of years, I started suffering from a mysterious chronic illness. My own quest for answers led me to blend conventional and functional medicine. This personal journey ended up profoundly shaping my approach to practicing psychiatry. I invite you to learn more about my experiences and the holistic approach I offer. Together, let's embark on your journey to mental wellness.
