👋🏻  Hi, I’m Dr. DeCapua, DNP

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1585966458796{margin-right: -50px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1717608774565{margin-right: 30px !important;padding-top: -10px !important;}”]Those who know me best call me Mav—like Maverick—and I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP).

I began my career studying the human mind and caring for those with mental illness. It was then that I started this NP blog about the prejudices I encountered as a nurse practitioner and how I imagined a more equitable healthcare system.

Learn about my background and connect with me on LinkedIn.
