About Patrick

My name is Patrick McNamara, and I am a dedicated and compassionate Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have honed my skills to diagnose, treat, and support individuals with psychiatric conditions. Currently, I practice at Empowerment Psychiatry LLC, where I focus on providing personalized mental health care. I specialize in conducting thorough mental health assessments, medication management, and therapy sessions. I am passionate about educating my patients and their families about mental health and available treatments, ensuring they feel supported and informed every step of the way. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I do have acute psychiatric experience working in a behavioral health unit. Before working in psychiatry, I mainly worked on various inpatient units in an acute care setting. I understand that physical and psychiatric conditions are intertwined and inseparable. I have a deep understanding of how chronic conditions can influence the development of psychiatric conditions. When we work together, know that you're in capable and caring hands. My approach is collaborative, and I partner with therapists and other healthcare providers to develop the best treatment plans tailored just for you. I look forward to helping you on your path to better mental health.

Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

My passion for mental health stems from recognizing how deeply psychiatric and physical conditions are connected. I became a therapist to help people navigate the complexities of mental health and achieve lasting wellness. What motivates me to continue is seeing the positive changes in my patients' lives and knowing that I can make a difference in their journey to mental and emotional well-being.

For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

I understand that seeking help can be intimidating, but therapy is a powerful step toward healing. I focus on creating a safe, supportive environment where you can express your concerns and work through challenges. You won’t be alone in this journey—we’ll go through it together, and I’ll be there to guide and support you every step of the way.

What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?

When we work together, you can expect a collaborative and personalized approach to your mental health care. I tailor treatment plans specifically for you, incorporating therapy, medication management, and integrative therapies like mindfulness and stress reduction. I partner with other healthcare providers to ensure a comprehensive approach, all while offering compassionate and evidence-based care.

How can you provide care remotely?

I offer remote care through telepsychiatry, which allows me to conduct mental health assessments, provide therapy, and manage medications virtually. This ensures that my patients have access to the care they need from the comfort and privacy of their own homes, especially during times when in-person visits may not be possible.
