UnitedHealthcare (UHC / UBH) Therapists in New York

My expertise is working with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, relationship issues, self-esteem/body image concerns, substance abuse, trauma, work stress and anger management. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to facilitate your journey to healing. Taking the fist step can be uncomfortable, but you do not need to do it alone. I utilize an array of therapeutic interventions that are person-centered and solution-focused. I believe that everyone has the ability to change and grow at any point in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. I think the main reason we develop mental health issues is because they are unhealthy learned behaviors that we have picked up along the way.

I am Marie E. Mercure, a passionate Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 25 years of experience, dedicated to delivering exceptional mental health care. My focus is on providing comprehensive and compassionate care to patients from underserved communities and diverse cultural backgrounds. My clinical expertise is rooted in a holistic approach, which prioritizes the overall well-being of my patients. I strive to maintain high standards of care by working collaboratively with other healthcare professionals, ensuring open lines of communication and a supportive environment for all involved. As a committed patient advocate, I leverage my strong clinical skills and natural ability to connect with patients and their families to build meaningful relationships that foster trust and healing. My practice is grounded in the belief that mental health should be treated with the same urgency and respect as any other chronic or pre-existing condition. Through culturally sensitive and emotionally focused treatment methods, I am dedicated to improving the lives of my patients and supporting them on their journey to mental wellness. *Specialties •Mental Health •Adult Psychiatry *Conditions treated •Depression •Anxiety •Bipolar disorders •Schizophrenia •ADHD •Addiction •Mood disorders •Trauma •Panic attacks •Substance Abuse •Personality Disorders •Relationship Issues •Sleep disorder •Stress •Anger Management •Grief •Loss •Maternal Mental Health *Treatment philosophy I believe in Mental Health like any other chronic or preexisted conditions should be treated equally *Treatment approach •Culturally Sensitive •Emotionally Focused •Mindfulness-Based(MBCT) •Trauma-Focused •Person-Focused *Insurance •Aetna •Cigna •Optum •UnitedHealthcare •Blue Cross Blue Shield •Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield New York (formerly Empire) •Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts •Quest Behavioral Health
